I am getting ready for a trip this weekend and craweled under the trailer to install a new sewer cap. This trailer is only 5 monthes old so not sure when the nut may have backed out. Lucky to have found it now.

That's probably why they didn't finish the job.
I see the same thing, there is no hole in that bracket, and the legs seem to be bent and the right side of the shackle is cracked at the bend, looks ready to break. Needs more than an DIY job. I would not tow that rig like that, get it fixed before towing is my opinion.

I was kind of wondering the same thing.
Although I give the OP the benefit of it is just the camera angle used in taking the photo here.
Here's to hoping for a simple fix and solution to your problem.
It is just the the camera angle. The hangers are straight

I would call the dealer and make them come to your house to fix it. If you fix it they win, and it isnt fit to be on the road like that.
The dealer is 200 miles away so I will fix it myself. The bolt is bent so I will need to replace that bolt.
