Default Rear Fender Problem

It is finally riding time here in China again...

Anyway, this afternoon I was changing the rear bulb in my brake/tail light and noticed the entire rear fender/light configuration seems to be leaning to the left. I calped it and sure enough the left side is about 5/8" lower than the right side.

Can anyone steer me in the right direction to find a "how to" to get this thing straight?

Thanks so much in advance!

Is something tweaked? Take it apart and reassemble it. There isnt any magic adjustment for that thing. It just needs to be installed correctly or something is bent....Your struts tweaked or something?

Did a big girl ride the fender directly?
