Default 1993 steering column cover crooked

Is it possible to straighten the steering column cover and turn signal switch and wiper switch ?
Currently rotated about 5 degrees clockwise.
Looks terrible.
Please Help !!

They all came that way. Always thought it looked kind of goofy but have never tried to straighten one. Combination switch bolts directly to the ignition switch bracket assembly. Only way you might be able to is to chisel out the breakaway bolts for the ignition switch and see if it will allow you to rotate slightly. Is not likely as the steering wheel lock mechanism is usually indexed to the steering shaft.
