Chest Strap Problem

[imm0rtal reaper]

Hey yall, I've started working on my pearly whites once again and I've ran into a problem.

 

As I've been working on the chest and back pieces I've run into a problem. The ribbed shoulder straps that connect the two arent fitting properly. When I've got the chest and back on, the straps arent fitting properly, they are sitting too high (I.E, not following the shape of my shoulder)

 

I'm just wondering what I should do to fix the problem. I was thinking of maybe heat bending them, but I'm unsure of how long I should keep the pieces in the water.

 

Any help would be very much appriciated

 

Cheers

Pictures are always a good idea in cases like these so we can better assess the situation

Heat would be the way, but move carefully and don't overheat the material.

Velcro them down in the back.

You know to be accurate they don't connect in the back... right?

Glue the shoulder straps to the chest if you want screen accuracy, and then bend the straps with a heat gun (gentle heat, keep it moving) to conform to your body shape.
