The reason for the widget not being aligned is because the theme uses specific CSS styles for its widgets so they will not be properly applied to third-party widgets. You’ll have to edit the theme’s style.css file.

Find this:

.footer-area .widget_recent_entries li {
  border-bottom: 1px solid;
  padding-bottom: 12px;
}
.footer-area .widget_recent_entries a {
  border-bottom: 0;
  padding-bottom: 0;
}

Change it to this:

.footer-area .widget_recent_entries li,
.footer-area .widget_cnw_upcoming_birthdays li {
  border-bottom: 1px solid;
  padding-bottom: 12px;
}
.footer-area .widget_recent_entries a,
.footer-area .widget_cnw_upcoming_birthdays a {
  border-bottom: 0;
  padding-bottom: 0;
}
.footer-area .widget_recent_entries li,
.footer-area .widget_cnw_upcoming_birthdays li {
  border-color: #505152;
}

Now, the links on the widget seem to work fine. I’m guessing the update to Connections may have addressed that.
