Is it just the left side? You might be able to loosen the nuts at the head and rotate the pipe to align it better. There should also be a support bracket at the starter that would have a bolt and nut attaching it to the pipe that needs loosened. You should look this bracket assembly over and make sure it isn’t broken. If it is, then the pipe will also crack as well. Everything needs to be lined up and tightened properly or it will eventually break.
The chrome bracket is upside down, as the diagram above shows, because the rubber mount is upside down. The concave side of the bracket should be on the top, not the bottom. That will lower the back of your muffler maybe 1/2"-3/4"?
And to add, there is longer bolts and even chrome spacers that can go between the top frame bracket/top slot rail on the muffler on the bolts, if the back end of muffler needs to be dropped down even more to get it level. https://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/produ...flh-xlh-4-pack
look at 29, so the rubber block needs to flipped 180 top to bottom for slider brackets in the bag suports, ,need to be flipped around bracket 29 mounts top to bottom in the flipped rubber block with 29 being U direction to the muffler below, not an ^ to the muffler rails below that you have them now with rubber mounts upside down as well.
This will lower the rear of the muffler down about 3/8" and buy/ use the above spacers that I listed, since needed for this different type bracket muffler as well, since this type muffler, has the nut up, with slot in muffler rails for head of the bolt instead. https://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/produ...flh-xlh-4-pack
