oh... yea its actually bent. not entirely sure how you do that without destroying it but good luck bending it back. theres a good chance it will buckle or crack when you try. that thing is scrap man.... i suggest moving on to something else.

How did you not know it was bent?
Seller clearly states it is bent, plus there is a picture of it. Clearly bent.

Since you already got it, seems like it would be worth trying to straighten it.

If it's already scrap, what's there to loose?
