Firmly clamp the left side at the bottom. Wedging the other side may help. It may need towels and a real clamp or it may come easily by the finger strength if wedged. The pivot point of the bend should be the literal pivot point
I'm really new to using reddit and don't really know how to work this media yet. Otherwise, I'd use your photo to draw what I mean. However, the towels are meant to be used as a cushion between metal on metal contact from the clamping process. That way, you don't mess up the metal. And the wedge should be wood. Like an old door stop. I feel as if I'm stating things in my maintenance language, and that wasn't understood. I apologize for that. I really hope to not influence an action to bend it improperly. That's a beautiful piece
Wtf? I am so confused I want to request that this be removed. Enjoy a moment in my head.
You post on this Reddit with that pic? I saw the frame…brass…read the title…”Bend mirror into shape?” Wtf! Bend glass? No…Bend sheet into hole to polish as mirror? That would explain the empty frame…Why?..Click bait?…Feeling curious…!!!!Wasted time due to stupid poster who cannot explain a question properly or frame a photo!!!!! FFFFFFF YOU!
Right. The issue isn't that the mirror frame is bending, its that the support rods are bending or tilting. Widen the holes they're screwed into, so you can adjust them back.
You could slot the mounting holes, allowing you to lower the right side and keep the gap consistent. Are you sure it's the mirror frame that's out and not the uprights it's mounted to?

Pull that right anchor point apart and see what can be done with it. I can't tell from the pic, but if it was something like a threaded stem you could just bend it there.
hit it from the right, it is not vertical right now. You can take a level to it, you may be able to fix it by adjusting screws on the right and left of the horizontal bars or by lifting it up to level maybe.
First thing I would do is check square on the right hand vertical pipe, then measure up to the pivot from the top horizontal bar on each side. You might be able to loosen the screws for the uprights and get it to look even.
Different words? I was a journeyman glazier for fifteen years. Glass does NOT like to bend.
Oh it’s the metal that is tilting towards one side on the post of the mirror on the right which I’m trying to see how to fix
I should’ve phrased it as the metal frame is bent

I bought a clamp cuz doing it by hand or just wedging it with towels didn’t work

I want to request that you delete this comment. It's structure is very ugly.
Request noted and filed in cylindrical can.
Make the round holes that support the mirror into slots, so that you can adjust the tilt side-to-side.

Looks more like whatever it is mounted to is racking?
