The coax arms on my HDX-5106 don't line up real well either.
What I did was to open up the metal hooks at the ends of the arms into
a U shape. Then I got some black rubber hose at the auto store that
slipped over the ends of the hooks and formed a complete loop. Half
metal and half rubber. The loop is fairly large ~6 inches long, and
allows enough room to allow the coax to come down straight despite
the misalignment.
