Default Z06 Titanium Exhaust - Alignment issue

I installed a Z06 titanium exhaust system on my non-Z06 Vette yesterday. By the photo below the left side droops a bit lower than the right. I was gonna put some heat on the system to bend it back up but was afraid to do so. So, with that being said will be ok to heat up the system to align it correctly or does anyone have a better way to align it? Any ideas will be appreciated.

Maybe new rubber mounting grommets.

I align mine by loosening the band clamp around the lower muffler, then push tips up and hold them while re tightening the clamp. They seem need it every once in awhile.

Loosen both flanges where they bolt to the H-pipe. Align them, securely hold them in place (I wedge a small piece of wood between the tips and the bumper), then tighten the flanges. Works for me.
