Default Bent swaybar

After installing JKS quick disco's, it seems like the swaybar is bent inwards on the passenger side. You can see how the disco is at an angle:

This is driver's side, which is perfect straight:

My question, is it something to worry about or should I leave it? I'm more concerned about something happening to passenger side disco.

Push the sway bar over and center it. It moves around in the mounts.

Wouldn't that mess up the driver side then? Only 1 side has an issue, moving that over will just move the issue to the driver side, or so I think.

It shouldnt be an issue. But yes the sway just floats in 2 brackets. You can wiggle it back and forth(up/down while pulling/pushing) or you can persuade it with a hammer if you are feeling frisky. Or you can bend it out a tiny bit with a crowbar.
