Need help with ZR( Zero Resistance ) Bridge!

[foolscanfly]

Hi guys, I've just purchased an Ibanez S series with a ZR Bridge. I tried to change the strings of a heavier gauge and my bridge pointed to the neck. Not sure if what I've done was correct, but here's what I've done, since this is a ZR tremolo system, there is a knob at the back of the guitar which says spring tension. All I did was increase the tension and yes the bridge went down. However, I realised that the angle (action) of the bridge towards the 4, 5 and 6 strings was higher than the angle (action) of the brige towards the 3, 2 and 1 strings. Can anyone please advice me on what to do? As in should the bridge be levelled? I tried lowering the angle (action) of the bridge towards the 4, 5 and 6 string, but this causes fret buzz to my 4, 5 and 6 strings. Your help and advice is greatly appreciated, thank you for all your time.

its normal for the bridge to be slanted.

Usually the action is slightly higher on the bass string side - these stirngs vibrate in a wider arc so they need that extra space.

Of course, if you have a well setup guitar with immaculate setup and you are a light picker, then you can get away with totally low setup with a leveled bridge. But as it is, stock and all, its unlikely you can do it.
