is your exhaust pipe hitting right at the top of the curve over your rear control arm? is so just take the hanger and stick it like as high up as u can right were its hitting. as far as how to bend the hangers.....i doubt they are that strong of steel. if i remember correctly its maybe about 1/4 inch dowel. take a pair of lockin pliers and use your strength. thats the only way i can really think of. be cautious tho bc u dont want to bend it like straight down bc then the hangers that actually hold the exhaust on could slip off easier. good luck gettin it better.
