Thanks for sharing the detailed photos. I see two solutions and neither requires special tools.

1- At the rear bracket with the silver screw, add a shim to the bottom outside corners between the narrow bracket and the sound bar’s thick L bracket. This will change the angle and remain completely hidden.

2- On the bottom of the sound bar add shims between the bar and bracket in front of the mounting screw. Add too many and you’ll see it though.

You may need a combination of both of these to get the angle you want. The TV mount should have come with multiple washers and spacers that should work for what you need here.

Firstly thanks for not commenting on the TV being to high, not on grandmas table, or on a lowhighwhatever board :) I had to google what a Shim is, so its a screw in a screw like a screw with a hole in it to screw another screw and sorry, but i just don’t get what You’re meaning here and how i could get the solution here…

What you just described is a washer. A washer can be used as a shim though. A shim is anything that creates space (think of it like a small wedge). You need to create space in certain areas to change the overall angle.

Got it ! Super simple :) But doesn’t that make a huge gap in reliability there ? Because it would be resting on one corner there and it’s a pretty heavy sound bar…

You will be using thin shims to make the angle adjustments. There will still be plenty of threads on the mounting screws holding it in. Also, this is stationary and not in a moving/vibrating car so it doesn’t take much for it to stay in place.

If you needed thick shims for the rear area to get your perfect angle it would be worth buying longer screws to give you peace of mind. Just make sure they’re not too long and go through into your bar.

Woohoo Case closed ! :) I’m pretty sure that’s not exactly what You’ve meant but i kinda reworked You’re idea :) The one peace solution is for a bigger angle and the two part thing is for smaller corrections :) Now just measuring and deciding ! :) Thanks !!! :)

Nice work! Keep in mind, if you angle it up too high you will easily see the bar’s bottom brackets.

If you’re adding shims to only the rear mount near the silver screw it won’t need much thickness to make a decent change in the bar’s front angle. You could test it by even folding a piece of paper in half five times and slipping that in (with bar removed for safety-loosen the screw, insert shim, retighten screw).
