Short shift lever leans to the left

I'm a new PCGB member just bought a Boxster S 987. The previous keeper fitted a short-shift gear lever himself and although there is no problem with gearchanging, the lever has a bit of left to right play in it, and the lever is tilted over to the left quite a bit. Is there any way to straighten the lever or can it be adjusted? Do you know anybody me who might be able to fix it, I'm in Stoke on Trent. I've also noticed that when I pull away I sometimes get an exhaust/manifold blow kind of noise but I don't know if this is just the normal Boxster sound. The car has a standard exhaust but I've also got a Tubi system which the previous keeper removed because it was too loud for him. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Picture shows Neutral position.
 
That doesn't look right. I have short shift in my 987 S. This is it in neutral.

There is 1cm play left to right before the springs on the detent pick up going either way
 
Thanks for that, at least I know that it should be straight now. I can feel a trip to a Porsche specialist coming on unless any member could tell me how to adjust it.
