Is this a disaster?

My infinia 190.5 is coming in less than half an hour and while inspecting the stand i noticed the legs are bent. So i removed the leg and i noticed the pivot inside the metal frame is bent and i cant see it. Im freaking out. My lfs said they can bang it up and level it and it wont be an issue! And im really really nervous

Can you adjust the other legs to make it level?

Does it seem solid when it's screwed in?

Looks like it's on carpet, might help a bit as opposed to a solid surface.

But since you don't have the tank on it, might as well mess with it while you can.

Looks like the threaded insert is partially pulled out. Tap it back up and as long as the leg turns and the insert doesn't you should be fine. If the insert turns thats a problem.

That nutsert is stripped.
Loc-tite might be your friend here. If you can get the screw to tighten it will be fine.

What do you mean the bar is bent? Can you take a pic down the length so we can see how bad is bent?

That is that for, underside for the shelf. What is it's purpose? Screw for the shelf or upright? If either, if you can get the screw started it will be fine. It is to hold the upright from moving to the side. With the screw in it should be fine. IMO, from your video.
