Crooked distronic emblem

Finally getting around to some detailing. Anybody run into a crooked Mercedes emblem on the front?

I can't unsee this.

The T for Turbo also fell off...

Don't they twist on? Perhaps it's slightly loose. Have you tried gently turning it clockwise to see it it will snap in place nice and straight?

No reasonable amount of twisting with the hands gets it done. Anyone?

The emblem is straight. It's the car that is crooked.

A video I saw not long ago of the assembly showed them twisting them on. I would look for videos showing how to remove them and from that you may be able to straighten it. You may need to remove it first. I found this doing a quick search.
