Anyway to shim/adjust motor alignment on a 2007 800R

Bent and straightened the flying nun on my 2007 800R -its very close to the way it was before finding a a 6' tree. After all the fun and excitement of straightening I find that the motor and therefore drive clutch are angled ever so slightly to the right when looking from above. Anyone know how to shim or make adjustments to realign the motor? The sled rides fine with only a very slight vibration coming from the belt/clutch area -excess belt wear is also evident.

I am looking for a suggestion that does not start with total the sled or spend 25 hours replacing the forward box section -there are not any buckled pieces of aluminum and the A-arms are spot on. I am not looking for suggestions on riding where there aren't any trees either -I live in the forest known as western Washington.
 
How much twist? There is supposed to be a slight clockwise twist to the engine (looking from above) so the clutches pull into alignment under a load.
 
How much offset on the primary?

When I used to ride sleds with adjustable motor-mounts, I set 1/8th inch of offset (right twist looking from above and behind) to the primary clutch. I currently have 1/4 inch offset on my "refurbished treemagnet." What is the factory setting on an unmolested 2007 800R? I am using a makeshift "tool" to measure the alignment. Any suggestions as to an accurate/improved means of measuring the offset/alignment?
