With the driver, at address, I tilt my right shoulder a bit lower than my left creating about 5-10* spine angle tilt. I tried this earlier w/ irons (not as great of a tilt but still a tilt) and seemed to be hitting cleaner shots.

Is this the correct position for addressing irons?

Google images and youtube are very handy tools at times Do a bit of searching for various quality players (especially "swing vision" videos on youtube) and I expect you'll see the same angles over and over, due to the right hand being lower down the grip, and the forward pronounced hand position at address...

Not a problem, I was originally looking for a picture of Tiger Woods hitting an iron to go along with the picture of Ben, but the top picture just showed what you were after so well!

Agree. For one thing, if you tilt your spine towards the target even a tad at address, you're liable to do a reverse pivot like I used to do. It's ugly and it leads to a ton of issues. You don't want to go there.

      Yes.  Did he not hit the range before the round? When my first few pre-round drives aren't what I expect, the first thing I check is my driver settings, in case they changed.  I am on my second adjustable driver and I am still not trusting that golf gremlins don't change it between rounds. The second thing I check is my alignment and setup, and that is far more often the culprit than my settings. In any case, there are some simple things that I imagine should be on a professional player's pre-round checklist that I am surprised when they aren't.  One of those is the settings for any adjustable clubs.

      It was also set at B1 at a previous event, and… so there's dubiousness around whether he's telling the truth (again).
