After repairing the gimbal, the camera points about 15 deg to the right! No error codes.

Hello all.
I'm a newbie, so I hope not to be breaking any rules on my first thread! I tried to find a similar thread but no luck!
I recently bought a crashed Mini 3 Pro from a friend and managed to source the parts needed to repair the gimbal (no part of the drone itself was damaged, apart from one prop!).
After carefully watching a YouTube video, I successfully replaced the pitch and yaw motors, the lower arm and the wiring loom.
I have flown the drone several times now and it flies perfectly with excellent video/stills from the camera.
My problem is that the camera is not pointing straight forward but around 15 deg to the right. I have tried the auto and manual 're-centring' to no avail.
I have not had any error codes appear, which was one of the things I expected after rebuilding the gimbal, so does anyone have any light to shine on this .... please!
John.

Have you recalibrated the gimbal?

Thanks for reply ... I should apologise for saying I tried to have the gimbal 're-centred' when I should have said re-calibrated! Yes, I did that using the Go Fly app and it went through the motions but settled right back in the same 'off-set' position! I did expect an error code after fitting the gimbal but nothing! It's not serious and as I said, it flies well and the video doesn't even show the camera offset! Weird!
 
Almost looks as if it thinks that 15° to the right is its "zero" point, although I could be wrong.
