If I understand your picture right, your guide is also wrong. The cable should always be closest to the center of the bow. There is not exception here on single cam bows. Hybrid bows should also observe this rule. The yoke or split cable should always be closest to center. You probably can just reverse the slide. I would adjust this first before twisting the cable legs.
You probably need to adjust your idler wheel lean. The cam lean should follow. I can see this in the picture of the split yoke at the top. Take all the twisting out of the window side of the cable leg. The set a straight edge on the face of the idler wheel. It should be parallel to the string. It this is not enough you will need to added twisting to the other leg until the string is parallel to the straight edge.
Note: Assuming the main cable is twisted clockwise from it's end, add your leg twisting clockwise from it's end. This should keep the main cable from over twisting the Y. If you twist the legs opposite of the main cable, then the main cable will over twist the Y.
This has nothing to do with the bow being a Martin. All single cams bows have this same setup proceedure.
