F1-8X V1.1 alu plate: bottom left and top left spring leaf cuts are slightly bent/warped
F1-8X V1.1 alu plate received but I realised the bottom-middle, bottom-left and top-left spring leaf cuts are slightly bent/warped. (did not take pictures of this warp but i have a video of when i first received the plate) - i can send the video that shows the warp leaf spring cuts upon request
pictures attached are my plate spring leaf cuts after i have manually adjusted them back with force, please let me know if there is any remedy i can perform
fix: i tried to bend it back with my force manually but it does not seem to look perfect still. will this affect the mounting or the sound of the keyboard when i build my F1? (i will be building my F1-8X on friday night)
concern: i am not sure if this will affect the sound or mounting of my keyboard

The leafs are quite malleable, you should straighten the leafs a little because if not the top shell will not fit and everything will be fine mine was a little bit warp too and build went smooth just making sure leafs were straight
do the pictures i sent look straight?
was the sound compromised in the end?
Yep, it seems pretty straight to me, you will notice if you have to make a small adjustment when you put the plate in to the bottom case, in my case was not even necessary a small adjust prior to install and was ready to go. and regarding the sound, I used mx black and it sounds pretty clean to me so don`t be stress about it your build should go smooth π
thank you so much for your help and experience π
i will try my best

Can you follow along like the video on that page?
Since the product bends with light force, it would be helpful to place the plate on a flat surface and apply force while flattening it.

When V1.1 plate is deformed
V1.1 plates tend to bend the leaf part easily due to their characteristics. Pull it with your hand to level it. Please refer to the video.
thank you so much
