I just had new vanity lights installed. The bar is level but one side sticks out further from the wall that the other. It's pretty significant. Electrician says it's the light. The round wall plate is flat against the wall. I have two of these and they do the same thing.

Here is a photo.

Has anyone dealt with this problem before and do you know how to fix it. I hate this.

The bell on the right is touching the wall on the one on the left clears the wall by .5-.75 inches. I have to fix this.

Is the bar crooked or are the bells clocked wrong on the bar?

I don't think the bars attach at a 90 degree angle. Manufacturing defect and I may have to just return these.

Just grab it and bend the fixture until it's straight

This right here. Or, return it and get another one.

I've done some of this. Guess I'm not bending enough. Afraid I'll break it.

This is the answer. Pretty common issue with these mass production light fixtures.
