Is O2 sensor supposed to be canted or straight?

I noticed the O2 sensor on the right side of my engine is slanted like it got hit real hard with something. Is it supposed to be like this? I'm still trying to fix this problem with the car running too lean...

O2 sensors are supposed to be straight. Every O2 sensor on your car should be exactly the same.

sheet ifit is bent i would go ahead and replace it, the best way to test it would be if you have a scanner you could switch the left and right 02's and see if the problem follows to the other side
