Default Muffler Tip not quite centered - help!

So I was admiring my handywork earlier when I noticed one of the tips is about 1/8" lower than the other (Corsa Axle-backs). I thought I had them pretty good but something must have shifted when i was tightening everything up.

I figured I'd try and adjust by loosening the bolt behind the muffler that connects to the over-axle pipe, and then just before the stock h-pipe. Then just tweak it until its right again. Problem is the first clamp behind the muffler pinched it tight now I'm having a tough time getting the muffler loose at all. I'm scared I might not even be able to put it back on after. Any suggestions to loosen things up and then on the re-install?

You can just bend the rear arm on the muffler accordingly.Down will raise it up, up will bring it down.

I also have the Corsa and they really look and sound great. The left one went on like a charm but I had to bend the arm on the right one to raise it up to the right level. It about drove me crazy trying to figure it out and doing it on a 98 degree summer day didn't help either. I'm really satisfied overall with the Corsa exhaust system.
