Sure....

The number 2 engine is not tilted, but the intake is a bit higher located than the engine itself, which again means the long nacele goes down a bit.

The reason beeing that the closer the designer can bring the engine towards the center of the fuselage, the less pitch down moment is created along the pitch axis when the number 2 engine is produceing thrust. Thats why.
