Congrats!

I bought mine used too and it's the chief resident on my GM1. I also bought a wide converter giving me a 10.5mm f2.5 super wide lens

As for your pic, it's hard to see the decentering. Perhaps a shot of a flat object like a wall picture in a mounted frame at close range?

I sold mine last year with a lot of qualms after having it as my 'standard' lens on the camera for about two years -- moving to the 12-32; I really, really like that extra bit of width.

But the 14 served me marvelously and after a contretemps, I can remember posting on this forum how happy I was to have it in hand again!

An excellent lens, lightning fast focus in all kinds of lousy light, sharp, nice stars from lights within the frame when stopped down a little. A bit subject to flare from light just outside the frame, but that's manageable.

Adding the wide converter is a really good idea -- the fastest UWA around! I can appreciate what you are doing with that; I was actually running my 14mm on the Oly E-PL3 initially and bought the wide converter for the Oly 14-42 kit lens for a similar effect (it was a lot cheaper than the Panny adapter although not quite as wide). Great idea, did a very good job for the price, but it also persuaded me that I really needed the 9-18 UWA zoom because I had lot of work at the widest end.

So all in all, OP, you'll enjoy the 14mm and even if it is decentered a little, bear in mind that most of the world is not flat planes so nobody much will notice!
