Great minds think alike but your vocabulary is better than mine (but its my second language)... I've looked at many pictures and besides the plastic coloring, mine looks right.

I've got a 200miles trip this week end, I'll pull it out again next week when the level is lower and try to take the cup out, once out of the tank, I'm quite sure a heat gun will convince it to get back in shape.

With that done I'll try again, the arm does not seem bent so I'm leaning towards the crooked option.
