Mahindra 4025 w/ AML333 front end loader

[strat1960s]

While trying to connect a bucket to the AML 333 Quick Attach System I discovered one side was tilted more than the other side. Using the hydraulic controls I could tilt forward or backward nut the to mounting plate would not line up. One was tilted more forward that the other. At first I thought it was hydralic related but the more I looked at it I am leaning towards someting being bent. While my wife was doing some ground work, she said part of the bucket came off the attachment, which leads me to believe something is bent.
I saw in another post (back in 2019 I believe) a gentleman used a bottle jack to apply pressure on one side and let it set overnight. If I understood his post that seemed to work for him.
Has anyone had similar issues with the one of the two connecting plates being tilted one or the other more than the other side? How did you fix it??
Thank you.

There are a number of different ways to do this but here is a video of the principal and you can figure out how fix one side and use hydraulics to realign the other side.

Hope this helps!!

I was a mechanic in the Air Force for 14 years. I came across some "wonky" problems and even wonkier fixes. Like freezing an axle seal to get seated on a M35 Deuce and a half in Kuwait. However, my experience with farm equipment is next to none.
I will give this a try later today and see how it goes. Thank you so much for the tip and the video. I really do appreciate your help with this.

I gave it a try and it got us within half an inch of being able to set the lock pin. I'll try again this morning.
Thank you.
