    I've noticed that my bed is not lined up properly, an I've heard that this is normal... Is there any way I can fix this?

    loosen the bed bolts, move into correct position, tighten bed bolts. should be 6 bed bolts, IIRC.

    You got it pretty much dead on. There is a reasonable amount of allowable movement once the bed bolts are loose. It all depends on how far off the bed is.
