Default Uneven new axleback

Hey guys

Hey y’all was finally able to install my remark axle back but it seems uneven. The driver side is hanging lower by .5 inch. I’ve rebolted it twice but it’s still looks off. Any ideas what I could do to raise the left side up? Maybe an smaller exhaust hanger will do the trick?
Model 17’ RWD

Best way I've found to line up exhaust is a loosen the bolts, get a friend to hold the tip steady in the perfect position then slowly tighten things down, this usually does the trick for me. It is usually those small differences in tolerances to where the connecting part can move around and bit while being tightened, and/or the rubber hangers tilted, that can make an exhaust uneven. I'm almost certain you can straighten this up with no mods or extra purchases, just takes it being it the right spot when being tightened down.
