Default Borla Exhaust Question

My friends helped me install the new Borla exhaust rear section last night and when its on the car and you look at it the tips are closer to the left side of the cut out than the right side and the left tip appears slightly highter than the right one. Because the left tip is higher and it is more to the left of the cutout the top off the left tip is touching the top portion of the exhaust cutout. The hangers are moved all the way to the right using the adjusable screws. Anyone ever experience anything like this or know of a way to fix it?

Default Twist the center muffler rear joint to align the tips correctly...

The muffler(center one) plays an important role in correct alignment. Also make sure it is fully compressed at every joint(cat/Center) and use the play in the rear to adjust the depth on the rear tips at the valence. If this is a new Borla you may also have to pull the joint out at the cats .5" - 1" to get the tips perfect as they seem shorter than the Gen1.
