But if that's really the lift shaft then you'll have to add a second one for the Animated Series version.

If that is the way it is done then that is the way you must do it. And also what they did for TMP.
Obviously, the solution for TAS is to put the outside nubs at 10 and 2 so they're symmetrical, and have the bridge pointed directly to port on the inside.
When Kirk looked at the 3-footer in "Requiem for Methuselah," they showed his eyes peering straight in...
...and this is the reverse angle they chose:
Kirk couldn't really see inside the bridge, but this shot might be the show officially saying that the bridge is offset, with the elevator directly aft and the Command Module pointing toward the port bow. Because they knew full well where the elevator nub was on the miniature.
They could just as easily have chosen and angle like this, but they didn't:
This is a damn nice one, I wish they'd done it more than once:
The entertainment part is the most important. I take what I see on screen seriously but not fully literally. Why? Because there are limits to the dramatic presentation format.
The turbolift wall detail & curvature is a strong indicator of the artists' intentions (although also minmal enough to be something else if required)
And have the Captain get bumped off every week
