My first burner was like that. I drilled holes on either side of the tail piece into the heat shield, ran self tapping screws in the holes, and put a piece of wire under the burner to hold it level. Cheap and easy.
I did pretty much the same thing a few weeks ago to a blonde ale. It turned to be alright. Not my best brew, but I’m going to drink it. Lol
I called it the hot blonde.
