try swapping the shocks side to side and see what it does ,if frame was bent sitting on it isnt going to change that.
wouldn't that mean the arm is twisting? i can't see that happening.

With the bike sitting straight up, can you measure your exhaust mounts from the groud to see if one has been tweaked? Check the swing arm heights as well for twisting. Beautiful Bike, good luck.
what is a good way to make sure it's level? i had a friend hold it upright last night to do this, but just a small tilt either way slews the measurements.

Perhaps shorter rear shocks might afford vertical clearance, as with the oem swing arm.
Good Fortune!
Or eliminating the pesky exhaust mount that seems to be the problem
