I ended up putting a new punch mark on my compound 90° away from the factory line to become the 'correct' zero point.
I'm going to fine tune the angle and scribe a line on the cross slide to mark the proper angle. I did the same thing on my 14x40 lathe but being an old fart, I totally forgot about my past errors.
