The problem isn't a horizontal issue.  The upper and lower tubes that run from the top/bottom of the hub should be triangulated  up by the mount, unfortunately, I don't think you can fix the current design.  I'd just drive it the way it is, but check it VERY often, you'll notice the top of the tire leaning in as it bends.......

You can easily carry the triangulation closer to the front heims on the arms you have and likkely prevent needing to worry about bending those. .

The triangulation piece that I just put on is actually joining the same weld as the bung.

Hey fabr do you think it would help to close the top of the new trianglation area with a plate on top.
