LA-5/PEQ-5 zeroing

I used the search feature. My whole team is stumped and so are some other bravos I asked in other companys. I'm not a bravo but bear with me.

Ok so the SOPMOD zero target states that the desired point of impact at 25M using a PEQ-5 is 16m up and 16mm right. The point of aim is center. To me this makes zero sense. If it was opposite I could see that. If the point of impact was center mass and the point of aim using the LA-5 laser was up and to the right(the location of the laser mounted on the top rail) that would make perfect sense.

Is the SOPMOD trying to get a 25 meter CQB zero? Even a POI/POA method wouldn't make sense using this target. If you take 16mm up and 16mm right at 25 meters for the bullet impact and take that same target out to 300 meters that would put the POI nowhere on the sillhoute anymore. The line of barrel and LA-5 crossing(which is does using the SOPMOD target) at 25 meters means that that is the last time it does so. Once those two paths cross they will only further and further seperate. The ballistics don't magically force the round to curve back onto the target at 300 meters.

Are we missing something or is the SOPMOD target supposed to say POA 16mm up and right and POI center mass? Ideally a parallel zero is what I want and to me that only makes sense reversing what the SOPMOD target says.
