Turns out, I am an idiot and the solution was pretty obvious once I cleared my head. I tightened down the top 2 fully to see if it helped bend the shield and sure enough it worked... Don't you love spending a ton of time on something that ended up being obvious.

Don't worry, you're not the first and wont be the last.
