I have had two different Equalizer hitches on two different trailers. Both of them look much like yours do. I don't think you have a problem.
That said, when I bought the Airstream the L pins were really bent. Scary bent actually. When I looked at the mounting directions downloaded from the Equalizer web page I noticed that the PO had located the L brackets in the wrong position. I can't remember if they were too close to the ball or too far away but they were not right. I adjusted the L brackets and purchased new L pins from equalizer. We have gone almost 30K miles and everything looks and behaves well. So, I am not sure if the problem was the location of the brackets or the actual pins but everything is good to go now.
Get new pins and take a look at the location of the brackets.
