Leaning Palm - How Much is too Much?

Hello Palmy Friends!

I have a mule that I planted as a seedling. I didn’t realize how badly it was leaning until it was older. It’s definitely straightening out as it grows, and has a healthy fat trunk. My question is, is this leaning too much? Should I try to correct while I still can, and how would I?

Trunk & Roots firm?

I can move it back a few inches without too much effort, so relatively firm but I’m not sure I’d say super firm.

Loosely stack it back, place some type posts either side in line with the position you want. Then tie it in place loosely with a little movement this will help it anchor itself better with a little movement.
