It is unlikely to cause issues if the rings are tightened properly. If the gaps on one of the rings bother you, loosen that ring (keep the other one tightened) and re-tighten it with the gaps properly aligned.

Reticle alignment to the rifle is a very overblown issue. The reticle has to to be aligned to the world, not really to the rifle.
Take a small level and attach it to the top of the scope turret using some easily removable double sided tap or a dab of rubber glue or something along those lines.
Then set-up in whatever is the most common shooting position for you is. You will notice that unless the buttpad on the rifle is adjustable (or you are using a bipod or something along those lines), the rifle is not going to be perfectly vertical.
That is simply how your body works: the buttpad of the stock is not perfectly vertical in your shoulder pocket.
On all the rifles that I shoot with a sling, I usually set my scopes up with a slight clockwise cant. That way the reticle is vertical with respect to what I see, while the gun is slightly canted.
