Sounds like an "up and down" problem of alignment, not "side-to-side", correct? Since all the carriages are part of the deck, the side-to-side should be ok.
I think you need to detach the top deck, get the bottom deck to fit right and then reattach the top somehow holding them together so that they are bent, as you say.
For all things Victory, check out the Pete Coleman website, and don't be put off by the test question to join. It's an easy one.
