The barrel is probably 'out of time' (for want of a better description). The so-called 'witness marks' are not a reliable means of centering the front sight base in relation to the receiver. If the barrel is off a little bit one way or the other then the front sight alignment will be off as well.

You can have this checked and re-adjusted by several members of this forum.
