Default Elevator ball not centered
I have Futaba 255 cyclic servos with mikado carbon servo arms installed and the elevator ball is off-center by about one ball width to the right and back (i.e. not directly below the corresponding swash ball as show below). Is this a problem? If so what can I do about it?

I had same issue so used the spacers(rectangle ones) provided for the tail.
This centered the ball under the swash pin.
Running the Mikado arms on center hole the link will still be angled slightly, but this is no problem.

You can fly it. And fly the hell out of it. It doesn't matter. You'll see that when you lever your swash at mid, high and low during vbar setup.
