Aeneas your post scared me because I bought Night Wings several weeks ago, but haven't used them yet. I just now tried loading the prop with V3. I see what you're talking about, although for some reason it looks more extreme in your screenshots than it did for me. No big deal, this can be dealt with easily. These wings work like most wing props. They're not smart props ... they won't automatically fit or conform to any of the Millennium Characters. They can be used with any character ... Posette, the Millennium Dog, the DAZ Gremlin, it doesn't matter. Select the wings, select "body." Move the entire prop slightly forward on the z-tran until the that bone part of the wing does contact Victoria's back, or even goes into it a bit. When I did this, the two wings appeared symmetrically aligned from various angles. Then parent the "body" of the wings to the "chest" of your character. Don't conform! After that everything should be okay. Becase the prop isn't "smart" and is intended to work with various characters, I don't think it will appear to fit any of them merely by loading the thing. You need to move the wings into place, then parent to the chest. This is how almost all wing props I've ever seen work. I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with this product, except that as with almost all DAZ products, the ReadMe should have been more thorough and helpful. If you truly feel that the prop is flawed, I'd suggest calling DAZ to ask for tech support or a refund. They'll definitely work with you. I like these wings very much because they're so stylish. Good luck Aeneas!
