so I have a c100 set up pictured here

everything sets up nice but the mattedbox (from indisystems which I think is closed down now?) doesnt align. In a perfect world it would, I have all the baseplates and all that junk centered and everything. what Im thinking is the c100 is offset and not the mattebox. Is there a way to correct this? The lens has about 1/2"-1" of room on the right and the rest of it on the left.

is there a such thing as offset sliding rail blocks? Any tips would be awesome, hell any links to products would be best.

cheers!

A lot of the cheaper matte boxes (esp. the knock offs of the swing away styled Redrock Micro MB) are off center. I got one for like $200 a few yrs back because at the time I didn't want to drop $1000+ on a matte box. It was off line. A little modding of the mounting area with a drill & a dremel tool fixed it enough to use. I've since thrown it out and replaced it with something of better quality.
