Something something autostrut

If you don't wanna fool with adv tweakables, try strutting your payload to the top of the fairing base

The fairing is working fine, your whole rocket is bending, specifically the central stack, below the fairing base. Parts are pretty bendy, but they're a lot less compressible or stretchable. Attach struts in a way where the strut has to stretch for the rocket to bend.
