I identify a point-symmetric structure in recently published VLT/MUSEvelocity maps of different elements in a plane along the line of sight at thecenter of the supernova remnant SNR 0540-69.3, and argue that jittering jetsthat exploded this core collapse supernova shaped this point-symmetricstructure. The four pairs of two opposite clumps that compose this pointsymmetric structure suggest that two to four pairs of jittering jets shaped theinner ejecta in this plane. In addition, intensity images of several spectrallines reveal a faint strip (the main jet-axis) that is part of this plane ofjittering jets and its similarity to morphological features in a few other SNRsand in some planetary nebulae further suggests shaping by jets. Myinterpretation implies that in addition to instabilities, jets also mixelements in the ejecta of core collapse supernovae. Based on thepoint-symmetric structure and under the assumption that jittering jets explodedthis supernova, I estimate the component of the neutron star natal kickvelocity on the plane of the sky to be ~235 km/s, and at an angle of 47 degreesto the direction of the main jet-axis. I analyse this natal kick directiontogether with other 12 SNRs in the frame of the jittering jets explosionmechanism.
