They need to lay flat and seal. Don't know about the V force I run stockers, they last a long time and work well for me, I bend the stays as wide as I can get them and still fit into the cylinder.

It may be OK that they don't lie flat at rest. As soon as the engine starts they are going to be subjected to pressure waves that push them down against the block through being wide open.

just order some new OEM reeds. I have seen huge jetting bugs resoved by replacing worn reeds.
