Bent frame or deformed tank problem

Looking straight on at my 2014 690 from the rear, my license
plate is sitting off to the right side. Left side is lower than
right side. I replaced all the tank bolts with the Perrun kit. I
looked over all the plastic parts and found no problem. So I had
to add washers under the hand hold bolts on the left side to get
it almost straight. I have less than 800 miles on this bike and
most was your average easy off roading. The rear end has smacked
into the usual hidden rock or tree root, but nothing fearce
enough to bend the frame. I'm thinking maybe the tank is
deforming considering I ride from sea level to 13,000 feet and
gas expands significantly. Maybe I permanently warped the tank.
Oh, I also broke the break lever spring
Thoughts anyone?

No thoughts on what you are seeing but I don't believe fuel
expansion is a problem as the tank is vented.

Vented tank, good point. I'm stumped...
