Default smashed/bent ls1 pickup?
Is this normal, or should it be flush?

Looks like you hit the pan on a stump.... Or, you put the wrong pan on and pulled it up w/ a impact wrench, or the engine was dropped while the pan was off....

I would just buy a new one, they aren't that expensive, they are less than $50.

Tweaked like it is, it may affect the seal of the o'ring @ the pump....
As mentioned, get a new part.....
