I also agree it should be a matter of loosening the two bolts on the rear flange, adjusting the exhaust, and re-tightening the bolts.

Whoa, just saw the video now.

Sounds really clean and makes the car sound like it has some balls.

That's a healthy tone! Congrats!

I just installed the Vanguard exhaust that I ordered from Eric at PYSpeed on my E90 today. My tips stick out further than yours are showing. I'd say the tips stick out about an inch and a half, which is about an inch more than I'd like. It's almost seems like I got the E92 exhaust. I also had the same problem with the left side being a little lower than the right side. While we did the install, we tried all kinds of adjustments to remedy it. Lastly, we had to scrounge for a longer bolt to attach the stabilizing bracket near the downpipes.

The sound is good when the car is started and in city driving. It sounds great on WOT. It does drone some at the 2k rpm range driving around 60-70mph.

I'll post some pics once the weather clears up, hopefully soon!
