Big Hammer
No kidding,
My landing gear weldment seemed to be distorted as well and all of the suggestions mentioned were employed in my build.
A couple of blows with a big hammer finally aligned most of the holes.
You do want the weldment flush with the spar face and persuade only the forward facing brace with the hammer. That worked for me and as a side note I have no shimmy in the landing gear.
