Unhappy How close to level?

so... things aren't going exactly perfect putting my new setup up. I have the base of the mount installed and hitting a stud; but the fibreglass siding is flexing quite a bit holding the arms (i thought there was ply behind it). This is with a 90cm dish & sg2100. I tried to compensate for the flex by ajusting it a bit so when it did flex, it would go into plumb; but when i got the dish up (w/out lnb - the QPH-031) it still flexed to much. it's pefectly level one way but a touch out the other way... the way the weight of the dish pulls it away from the wall. it's just a touch out; looking at the 9" magnetic level the ball is still inside the lines, just off to one side a bit. is this worth tearing it down and moving to another location. this is not much fun in the texas heat. heat index shows 106 right now. should i give it a shot??? options and opinions please... (i thought about using a washer as a spacer to get the sg2100 mount to level??)
thx!
