Lean angle

That's probably so. I am positive on these bikes the eye for the kickstand is welded on by hand and certainly not very accurately at that. I'll bet there is a ton of variance between examples even coming off of the same assembly line.

The cheap solution would be to hack it off and re-weld at your preferred angle. The easy solution would be to get one of those Amazon/eBay adjustable length kick stands, and just extend it to whatever feels right for you.
