Way to make waste pipe more upright?

[TimL4]

Hello. I have what used to be a S-trap situation where the drain went directly in to the floor. The sink has been moved to the right though, so it can now be a P-trap configuration (the drain still goes into the floor).

I know there are other things that need to be fixed in the pic, but want to concentrate first on the vertical waste pipe that is not completely upright. Since I want to put in a tee in on the left side with an AAV at the top (the drain is too far from the main vent), I know the vertical waste pipe can't be too out of perpendicular.

Is it OK to push to the left the vertical pipe so that it is closer to perpendicular, using something to secure it like a hook or block of wood secured to a stud, etc? Or, would bending it that far compromise a joint and risk cracking or breaking something? Thanks.

Thanks much. And in your opinion pulling it that far over won't cause any damage?

is it tight ? or just leaning ?

if it is tight, cut it about 2'' above the floor. buy

It's a little bit tight, so I think I'll use one of the elbows you suggested. Thanks again.

you will need both, not one, you put them together and twist to level
