That is a Wilkerson roller nut and the strings should go under the roller. Also that nut doesn't require or use a string tree. It looks just as it should in the picture. Appears to be a neck from a 90 Strat Plus. Also the original locking tuners were staggered and that helped hold the strings down. It the nut has been molested the best fix is to replace with a Fender LSR nut. I would not put a string tree on it. String it properly and you have a very nice find!-- Darwin
