No doubt there are ways to tell that. But if your scope is installed the only way you can install it, and everything works ok whats the issue other than everything might not be perfect?
May be the windage isn't exactly dead center in the adjustment range? So long as theres enough travel left in both directions, so what?
And different type rings could even fix that.
Used to be if you had a gunsmith install a scope on a hunting gun, he would not completely tighten the ring screws before handing you the gun to look thru the scope. How does that suit you? would be the question, meaning eye relief, and cross hair tilt after you had shouldered the gun a few times.
Maybe some minor adjustments would be made before final tightening.
Ive also watched as some very good and well known 1000 yd gun builders mounted scopes.
Ive yet to ever see one use a level, and frankly I don't know, or have I seen, anybody using one attached to their scope either for hunting or long range target shooting. Not saying any of it is bad mind you, but I do question how much its necessary.
