Hydraulic linkage bent slightly

Hi, I was assembling the hydraulics on my ferguson TEF20 yesterday and once the top cover was all on and I went to connect the control valve, I realised something wasn’t right.

The linkage has bent slightly which I believe is from over tightening the draft control knuckle

It seems to work fine but it is not centred to the control valve (see pictures from under tractor)

I attempted to straighten it tonight but I didn't get anywhere

What is best for me to do?
Source a new one, leave it or try harder to straighten it?
