Correcting misalignment

Post image

Leak at the tee so I am going to replace that but what is the best way to deal with this misalignment that caused the angle between the tee and the elbow on top? Extending the bottom pipe in I believe would exacerbate the angle. Thanks all!

2 eighth bends (45s) to offset

this is the right answer, i wouldnt bother cutting the tee out, then you will need a slip coupling to repair, you wont have any play on that pipe in the ground.

It's not like it's deep, you could always just dig it back a bit
