Right tear, move rest to the left. How far is the paper from you when you shoot? Does it change if the paper is moved down range? How much tear are we talking here? Yes, it could be the spine of the arrow. What size arrows, length, and draw weight?

Sometimes a WB will show tears opposite of what you expect. This is especially true if you over compensate with initial adjustments. If you move the rest one way and it doesn't work, try going the other direction, just make small adjustments until you get the results you need.

Could be arrow spine. Could be bow-hand torque. One thing often overlooked is cam lean, or in this case possibly idler wheel lean. If the cams aren't square with the limbs and riser the string is going to oscillate sideways on the shot, basically driving the nock sideways as the string travels foreward. If this is the case then try twisting up one side of the yoke to square the idler wheel. If you have sever cam-lean (bottom limb then you're stuck with what you got---thus, one of the pitfalls of the "blessed" solo cam.
