Whether or not straightening the RD will tweak it I can’t say. If it were me I’d take it off the bike. It might even be necessary to remove the outer plate.
It looks substantially out of line. I will say that the cage will break before the hanger.

I figured taking the RD off and apart might be the best route, though I wanted the input of others with more experience.
