Drain Pipe Not Straight
I'm working on renovating a shower (replacing fiberglass insert with tile) on a concrete slab and discovered that the existing, embedded drain pipe is badly out of plumb. I did a test fit of the FloFX drain flange and it was out of level by about 1/4" to 3/8". The FloFX flange has some flex to it, but I don't know if forcing it to level and screwing it down is a long term solution (seems like the flange would break).
Does anyone have suggestions on how I may be able to fix this or am I going to have to chip out the concrete and fix the drain pipe coming out of the concrete?

Thanks Isaac. I chipped out the concrete and was fortunately was able to push the pipe to proper vertical without new couplers and anchor it in place with the concrete patch. Drain flange is now dead-on level.
