Not enough info - please post the output of the remote control menu for chip recognition, and of course the actual chip numbers you've inserted (new/old SID).

This is normal - the paddle values are not what the test expects, not sure why.
This "slightly off"-behaviour is only true for one of the two SID types. I'd have to look up which one.
I have 3 8580 Sid chips with the same fault when using diagnostics. Tried them on various rev.A and rev.B shortboards. They sound fine and everything works. I have not tried paddles though, as I don't have any.
Sound-wise, there are no problems. It's about the capacitors used for the POT inputs - they are a single capacity, not switched depending on the SID type.
These capacitors don't play any role in mouse position data transfer, so the "problem" reported by the diagnostic cartridge only affects fully-analogue paddles (not even the paddle emulation that you have with Micromys). With those paddles, you'll have a small offset, but you should be able to get from min to max without problems.

So this is a common problem and my Sid's are okay?
Your SIDs are fine, it's really just the POTX/POTY values that are slightly different because of the external capacitor.
