Correctly identify the line of action of the force (weight in this question) and the pertinent pivot. Draw out, as illustrated, to determine the moment about the pivot identified.

If i tilt the bus, does the centre of gravity point shift?
Position of centre of gravity for an object changes, only if the mass is redistributed. Eg: you lift your school bag filled with books above your head, the c.g. of your body moves upwards.
So yes... if you tilt the bus, the position does change. To understand, compare the position of the c.g. of a rectangle when resting on a floor. The c.g. is still at the centre of the rectangle, where the diagonals meet. But the actual c.g. position relative to the floor, whether the rectangle lies on the width or the length of the rectangle... is different.

These two questions / answers from the O-level 'Explain That! Physics' book by Tan Jun Wei, will help you to better understand how the c.g. of an object can be affected, as per your prior comment / question.
Strongly advise you get a copy - based on your prior questions, you're really weak at explaining concepts. This book will help a lot.
