Gerry,
No, I bent it back there and then (easier said than done), my only worry was if it snapped as I was bending it, so I did it in increments.
Given how easily it bent out of shape I figured that there wasn't any danger of damaging anything else by bending it back.
If you look really closely, you can see it has been bent as it is not quite perfect, but that just adds ... character
.
