Greetings,

My MR4 meter sits at a different angle on my M3 than on my M4. I 
think the M3 is level. The meter's attachment bracket is adjustable 
to level it on either camera but there is no adjustment built into 
the camera body. You might be able to shim it though. One of these 
days I'll shim the M4's accessory shoe. With the M6's shoe having 
flash contacts, it may not be a simple matter to shim it, as it 
would be with my M4.

I hope the fungus isn't in your new M6!
