Any way to bend the hanger(s) or shim them. Maybe drill holes offset to the bolts holding the hanger that matters,that way when you line up the new holes,it shifts the hanger over.

Specify if touching bumper on top or sides. If top, need washers. If sides, you need a retainer clip (I think that's what it is called) from home depot.

My mechanic tighten up the clamps and straighten it out. It's perfect now. Hopefully it doesn't move.
