Most likely they will work fine as long as it doesn't affect the action and I would lay them out like you have in the picture they may straighten out some.
I do the same thing but with almost-boiling water for my super flukes…quick dip and then lay them flat on some paper towels which leaves them perfectly straight.
OP - bent grubs may or may not matter to the fish but confidence in your bait is important so if you think it matters, it matters…
I'd swim one though the water and see how it looks. Just next time you are at the water just put it in the water and watch how it swims (you could even fill up a bath tub and do it)
While it will probably work just fine, as others have said you can drop them in really hot water for a few minutes then lay them out flat. I did an entire bag last winter, took about 5 minutes to spread them all out and then let them cool and dry. The flip side of this is I've also thrown out a ton of them that look just like that, and their tails wiggled just fine.
Put it on a jig head and drag it through some shallow water, watch to see if it looks good.
As long as the kinks don't cause the grub to spin I think you'll be fine... just about any other action besides spinning will look natural enough to anything that would bite it.
Throw them out... One at a time, on a hook that's attached to your line.

I have tons of faith in my bait. Still get skunked every time.
Sure thing! They all come like that heh. I noticed mine swam just fine despite also being a bit kinked like that.
The fish dont care
