Summer Waves 16’x48” metal frame poles/legs leaning sideways

I’ve spent the last 3 hours looking and haven’t quite found a satisfactory (I’m OCD, paranoid, anal all at once) answer to my problem.
I just finished this pool last night, filled and ready to go. Looked great at dusk and was the most level on the first try (within 1/2”) over the last two years with a smaller version.
So the kids jump in and began to walk around checking everything out and I notice that 2-3 legs on each side are leaning in one direction. Not in or out but sideways. Probably not much but I have an eye for crooked things.
Now im worried that for some reason there is a weight distribution issue or something causing the legs to lean. They are leaning in the direction of the 1/2” off level. Am I overreacting or do I need to drain the pool and reset the posts?
Ive seen these pools look far worse but my mind won’t let me overlook anything and then I obsess.

I wouldn't drain it but you should be able to get two people to lift up at the leg to take most of the weight off and move the leg vertical. If you can't get enough of the weight off by hand you could use a floor jack next to the pool with a 4x4 to support the rail and move the leg in to correct position. Should be an easy fix if you are off only 1/2". Good luck.
