The witness marks on the stem are indicative of them being bent. Placing a set square against them quickly confirmed that.
They have been straightened now.

dickie wrote:Gents, you're correct. For the small amount of bending needed there, heat isn't required.
Unless it's been bent a long way or a short amount, many times bending cold is fine.
I should add that although I work in heavy engineering, I'm a control and electrical engineer so I'm around this kind of thing but it isn't actually my area of expertise. So I can't really comment with complete authority.
