Do you have different shocks on the bike? Is the jiffystand bent?

Make sure the lock tab bolt is tight and then forget about the stand, it will do its job.

And that's why it's standing too upright when on the jiffy stand. Might check out how a street glide jiffy works; it may be a different part # & have a different lean angle. New SG's come stock with lowered rear suspension.

Are you saying the bike is leaning too far to the left or not leaning enough and is straight up? If the bike was lowered then reason would say the stand would be too long and the bike would be straight up.

put a wedge or a few washers behind the stand bracket to correct the angle...
