Yes, it has to do with stowing gears on retraction.
Thank you. Finally someone has stated the answer.

The one and only reason landing gear bogey tilts is so the landing assy is in the correct config to fit into the landing gear wheel well on retraction.

The orginal question :-
Could someone shed light on what the AoA of the MLG just before touch down is ?
Sorry I have read my notes cover to cover on this and I could not find the time to subtract the trailing angle of the landing gear leg from the pitch angle of the bogie then subtract this angle of pitch angle (longitudinal) of the A330 during landing phase which may (or may not) change due to prevailing conditions or pilot/autopilot in command.
Hope this helps
