Does your Brooks B17 look a little tilted and twisted from behind?

Nothing major, just a smidge off. And looking straight over the saddle, the nose looks a little like it is veering off to the left a smidge.
Noticed this after the first couple rides, it looks that way. Was wondering if this is normal?
 
It is installed correctly. Thanks.

Looks to me like you need to loosen up the clamps and straighten out your saddle.

It's normal. Brookses are rarely perfectly symmetrical to start with, and the shape changes as it breaks in. Mine tend to move to the left a bit over time..i think my left leg is a bit shorter than the right.

I would agree with Eric that it's probably good to check the
clamps...since the saddle is pretty new. Or maybe this is just part
of the variability of new leather saddles.

Mine has a definite waver to it, but it's over 10 years old...and I
have to figure that one butt cheek is stressing it more than the
other!
