I've noticed that as well on my bracket.
The guy who bent them overbent them by maybe 5 degrees or so.
I think it doesn't really matter for the detector itself.
But I went and tried to bend one of the scrap brackets I have back to a 90 degree angle and it works just fine.
I put the vertical shank of the bracket in a vise so the radius of the bend just starts above the vise, and then pulled up slightly on the horizontal part until I got it to be 90 degrees. Works perfect...
After that I tried the same on one of the anodized brackets, and it works there as well without any negative impact.
