Use cardboard...its free. You shouldnt be able to see it either.

I think you should get 4 screw-in stump legs, similar to what you would find under a common couch and similar to left leg shown below. But a lower profile so you won't see them.



This could also allow for adjustment, a couple washers should do the trick. It might be easier using foam or cardboard but I don't it will work as well, using legs will also make it more stable.

If you have a stud in the wall right behind the very right of the stand you could possibly use a couple "L" brackets to support it where you need. You also wouldnt be able to see them since the stand sits so low.

Yeah the stand is just a bit off level... just enough to bug me, so I'll prob just put something small under the one side

Yeap, but you can get ones exactly the same except they screw in and have leveling adjustment, HD sells them.
