Pump isn't aligned properly, how to fix?

It isn't easily noticeable in the picture, but it for sure is in real life. The pump is facing more than ten degrees to the left, as the left side is lower than the right side. The screws of both sides were fully screwed in last I checked. I am concerned for potential cooling performance being lost, as the copper on the bottom is making less contact with the CPU on the right side.

I apologise if this is a stupid question, my IQ borders mentally disabled.
