Stick your thumb on the outbound spokes next to the bend and push towards the flange. This plastically deforms the bend to the tighter angle it needs on outbound spokes; it's part of the stress relieving process, but if you do it by thumb before tensioning it reduces the amount of adjustment you need to make after stress relieving the tensioned wheel.
