Tanabe exhaust hanging lopsided?

Thanks for any input, so today I switched out my OEM exhaust for a Tanabe Medallion. I used the brackets that came off of the OEM muffler and the hangers as well, and for some reason the left muffler hangs lower than the right one by about half an inch. I reset the muffler and re tightened all of the bolts and it didn't help at all. What do you suggest?

Probably have to bend that left hanger down closer to the muffler so it will be raised up, or bend that one a 1/4" closer and the right one a 1/4" further away to balance them out.
