Bent SP Elite

So, I've had my SP Elite for a few weeks and I've come to the conclusion that it was bent during shipping. I thought it was originally how it was sitting on the hangers but the more I look at it the more I think it's just the right side tip.

There's no obvious dents but the tip looks like it's about 1/4" up and to the left of where it should be. Any suggestions for remedying this other than cutting it off and welding it back on? I don't really have access to a TIG any more and I don't want to MIG weld it. I'm not too sure I can bend it without destroying it.

Being that it's been installed for a few weeks I expect both Greddy and the retailer won't be interested in helping resolve this.
