that button that turns on the lights on the sound bar, the door opens and it activates the lights on, so i drilled a hole while pushing the button in, and just put a small pin through it and lights stay off, or you can also pull the fuse, its the number 4 fuse inside the golve box forme

It wasn't just pulling the metal to one side or the other, it was physically bending on the flat part of the "T" joint(the plate that everything is mounted on).

I have been clamping my stuff down when possible(as was suggested) but still warps to some extent, though not as bad.

How hot are you running the welder?, You might be able to cool down a notch or two on yours and still get a quality weld, also if its warping try going about an inch and takeing a short break, thats what we do at work on thin metal, also leaveing it clamped down till its cooled down helps sometimes
