I’ve written on this before but I’ll do it again.
You need a small ratcheting strap.
Using a bath towel to cover the tank, wrap the tie strap from the front of the tank to the back where the mounting hole is. Place the strap on the back side of the mounting tab so it will pull/compress there and the ratcheting mechanism to either side of the tank so it is out of the way of the mounting hole.
Being sure that you have a thick enough towel to protect your tank, gently ratchet the strap a click at a time to bow the tank mounting hole into alignment with the frame bolt tunnel.
Insert your bolt and tighten. Then release the ratchet strap.
Voila!
I have done this MANY times without incident. You really only end up deflecting the tank by millimeters and no harm comes to it so long as you ratchet 1 click at a time until you get the alignment you really need to refit the bolt.
Zip ties are not a safe mount for the fuel tank.
If you have a winter non riding season, you can empty the fuel tank completely and air dry for the winter and the tank will naturally return to shape as the water contained in ethanol fuel, leaves the nylon.

I've changed hundreds, mostly warranty. To get tank forward I cut 2pcs of 1X6 to fit like a tent w/a peak. One on back of tank & one up against the fender area by the fuseblock. Push down on peak and it goes right up in place. Not a tall peak but short.
