JD 535 twine not alligned with cutter bar.

See the picture below, the twine is offset from the cutter and not cutting. You can barely see it in the picture but there's a 1" extension on the twine arm. The twine arm and the extension are both listed in the parts catalog with separate part numbers., JD calls the extension a bushing. Should I cut it off? Not only is the twine not cutting but the twine is not always grabbing the edge of the bales, sometimes it hangs off the side.
