Still Can't See These

I can't fathom the number of times I have to post this.
I broke some racks of 9-Ball today and on one occasion I had this straight in shot on the 1B as the opening shot. And I missed it as per the line in the diagram shows.
When I got down on the shot I simply couldn't tell if the cue was aligned straight at the target or not. I got up and tried the set up again but still couldn't tell if I was aiming properly and if the cue was aligned properly. Again, I missed the shot. And let's be clear here - this was straight in. So nobody tell me there appears to be a slight angle. I got the diagram as straight as I could.

UPDATE: The diagram isn't correct for some reason. And Chalkysticks doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Ignore all of this.
THE OFFSET IS WHAT YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF
In this exaggeration you can see that the contact line will be the correct stick angle. Without the stick angle you're just guessing that everything is directly in front and in line.
Don't forget to take a confident - confident, not hard - stroke at it.
