Default Is my saddle in correctly?

A problem I’ve never had in 20 years of playing the guitar. I took it out during pickup installation but didn’t take notice to its position. I’ve got it strung up and it sounds fine, but wanted to confirm with the forum. Thanks in advance!

you're not the first one to do this, it's something that happens.

It looks right where the treble end looks a bit shorter than the bass side. and the intonation compensation on the G string seems right too

It is correct. The rear offset compensation of the B string is the telltale. FYI, in most cases, the saddle will be lower on the treble end. That may not be apparent with the saddle installed, because Martin bridges are thinner on the treble side.
