hello,
I'm the type of person who bought a 2020 Z650 as my first bike. I actually don't have my license yet so i haven't tried riding her. What I DID DO, however, was purchase some engine crash bars from T-Rex which I just now tried to install. After realizing the bars didn't quite fit before i could fully install them i took them off and began to put the front engine bolts back on.
Here is my problem, The frame holes no longer lined up with the engine mount holes. I tried knocking the cylinder in between the frame and the engine back in to alignment but couldn't get them back in line. so here i am with a brand new bike that i haven't ridden yet and I'm silently freaking out.
Any help or advice would be great. I'm going to call my dealership in the morning but I would hate to pay them to fix this...
here are some pictures of said problem. You can see the white outline of where the mount should be lined up.

UPDATE:
I fixed it! thanks for the advice y'all, i just used my car jack to barely lift the engine. i mean like a centimeter at most and got the bolts back in. started her up and everything runs fine. couple pictures here
