Dave, one of those 3 Allparts saddles has a dot on it. That should be your D-G saddle, and I presume it is canted the correct way. One of the remaining 2 is canted the wrong way. Identify it, then take the height screws out and thread them back in the opposite way so the adjustment part is on the opposite end of the barrel. THEN flip it and it will intonate the right way.
If the ferrule misalignment bothers you, you have 2-3-4 chances to get it better but you gotta find someone skilled to do each step:
Recess the ferrules, flush with the body. You may wanna first plug and redrill the most sinful of the 6 misaligned ferrules. The drilling for the larger diameter covers up the old sins and creates a cool look;
If that fails (but it shouldn't) you can rout for a basic Ferrel Block from Taipantone;
If that got botched, you can do one of Taipan's fancier, flanged versions or even the big Phil Jacoby version.
++++
Folks, look how close the strings pass to the height screws on Dave's Allparts TB 5125 saddles. Beware of this, and maybe buy another brand since this can hobble you in terms of placing the string break point over the saddle. It works fine for 3/4ths of the guitars but just a bug in your ear.
