On the surface this may seems to be the case. Sure, if you open the
burnner assembly the flame will tilt 8 degrees due to gravity. However
when the burner is assembled the combustion air circulation design of
the burner assembly will be such that the airstream will direct the
flame to the flue pipe.

Did you take the photo with the burner assembly assembled and the flue
pipe connected?
