If squared up, the problem isn't so much whether or not the stock is in a "shoulder pocket," which is tatamount to myth to me to begin with, but that if you keep the stock to your shoulder, you have to crane your head sideways to get behind the sights. Throws off all sorts of crap, or at least forces you to try and compensate for that in ways that start affecting everything below the neck, as well.
Hence, if squared, likely better to bring the stock more toward your center, so you can tuck your chin like normal and bring the sights up into your view as is desirable.
If bladed, stop worrying about getting the stock off your shoulder, because you're angling the weapon "across" your body in such a way that you don't need to crane yout neck as much as bladed just by nature of the physiology. Bringing it more to center isn't likely to do anything for you in the absence of a bolster (which I'm not a fan of, either). If one insists on blading to that degree while wearing plate, you may just have to reconcile yourself to getting a good shrug going with your weapon-side shoulder so you have something to put the stock on.
