CTE Question

I've been using Stan's CTE method on and off for a number of years and have been quite successful with it. This concerns something I have observed about my perceptions and am wondering if other recognize this about themselves.
If I set up two mirror image object balls, each along the foot spot line and one ball diameter from the side rails and the C/B along the long string one diamond past the side pocket (so about 3 diamonds from the object balls) I see the following: on the cut to the right I see the right edge of the C/B at "C" and on the cut to the left I see left edge of the C/B at "B". When I do my set-ups and pivot I make both shots consistently. Since they are mirror images of each other I would expect the edges of the C/b to both be at "B" or one at "A" and one at "C". Is this discrepancy because I am right eye dominant.
For clarification, this is not a slam at the system. It works great for me and I don't care why, I just know it does.
Thanks for any input that may be made.

Sounds like a setup issue - maybe head position a little off...?

Here's lots of info about that.
