This may all be a bit late but no, you do not have to force anything. Importantly the t/bars are handed and should go back as they came out. Typically there is one dob of paint on one and two dobs of paint on the other.
In a perfect world you will have scales and you make adjustments via the adjusters where the t/bar is held underneath the fire wall to achieve equal weights on the scales. . In the absence of the appropriate scales, most people seem to measure the height of the wing from the ground just above the vertical centre line of the wheels .
