Light striking 24D p 20 ga.

My 24D has the light strike problem and ive seen posts with the fix and the pics of the mainspring plunger. There is a bend in the shaft on the the plunger in the fix pics online. The bend in my plunger shaft is in the opposite direction . All the images of the mainspring plunger I have seen in all the schematics online have a plunger with a shaft as straight as an arrow. My question is ..... Is the bend in the shaft of the mainspring plunger not supposed to be there?--If anyone has bought a new plunger assembly, was it factory straight or did it have a bend in it? So I'm thinking the bend is the problem caused simply by firing over time and not the original factory bend.??
original--straight? or bent?
