Mine is straight across. You can adjust the tension by the swiveling the arms up and down. If you look at the bolts that connect the very rear of the bimini to the tower, you will notice the arms are slotted where you can pivot the arms up and down. That is how you can adjust the tension in it. I would straighten the bar the best you can and then just readjust the tension.
