    The string doesn't say straight with the cam? It's hard to tell from your pic angles.

    Take a couple photos from straight behind rather than from the angle you did. It is hard to see what is going on with the angles on your photos.

    where the limb splits...you see how the string is the the right of the wheel the bottom part not the top part
    Ive been looking around at the z7s and i think they all do that because the roller pulls the strings to the right so it isnt lined up on the bottom of the wheel

    Yes, all roller guards / cable slides induce torque. The angles of the photos you posted makes the angle of your string / cable seem excessive. I think it is just the angle of the photos making it look worse than it really is though

    Definitely need to have someone take pictures straight from behind you and centered on the bow.

    Like has been said torque is induced in many bows but the shorter they are the steeper that pull is going to be.

    Draw your bow (don't forget to nock an arrow) and have someone stand behind you to look at it. The string should be straight with the cam at full draw. Slight cam lean at rest is normal. Lots of great info at the Mathews forum. Just search cam lean and you will learn lots.
