So I moved my tank and after everything was done, I wasn't able to get the rock that has my big Branching Acropora to sit exactly how is was sitting before. Its now kinda slanted with one side higher than the other. is this okay? I mean it didn't naturally grow like this and I'm afraid of the higher branches getting too much light now. they're maybe 2" higher than before.
Okay if SPS is crooked after moving rock structure

I agree, although adding a new wild colony to a tank mounted on an odd angle can create shadowing issues and depending on the coral can take a lot longer to grow and settle into the aquarium. And especially if the acro is a big one and is a tabling kind. Also can make some funny growth until it gets large enough to blend back in. I always make sure new wild or maricultures are placed as the were when they were growing under the sun. Unless a supplier had it growing in a tank and it's already acclimated to tank lighting in an odd position.
Your coral should be fine since it's branching and will be able to aclimate to the new position since it was grown in the tank. It may just go dormant for a little while until it's used to the light hitting it at that angle.
