That bag may have lived on a taller bike and or longer stem, side pull brakes, been loaded a lot and slowly got bent down from load and vibration, etc.

You might be able to flip the support over on the stem to use weight and force to bend it, 2 people,1 on the bike, lock the brakes and hold steady the other person with good gloves and maybe a pipe bending down standing in front of the bike one side of the support at a time while holding the other side steady, maybe.
