All I can think to do is heat up the bracket with the nut end and then bang it straight

You checked side by side comparison with the old one?

Body probably moved to the side a bit. Put a rachet strap around chassis and axle on the diagonal and pull it back a bit. HTH

reduce the suspension height - that will also alter the axle mount to chassis mount distance - or you're already on bump stops?
