A picture might help. I'm guessing one leg is bent?

Maybe don't install a center stand made for an 8" bike on a 10" wheels conversion?

buy a new stand with new boots. Give your bike the proper maintenance and care it deserves.

+1!👍

You can get a center stand for 10" wheels and always shorten the legs to suit.

That stand seems to have been modified to park on quicksand or mud or something soft, and it either has been shortened or bent forwards.
New stand indeed, or skilled welder and spare tubes.
