Bend it up. But I like to hook the sender up and do a sweep with it out of the tank just to see how well the whole thing functions. Ford's fuel gauges have been historically inaccurate. I have done the arm bending routine only to find there was no perfect setting, strike a happy medium is the best you can hope for in most cases.

If it had a lower stop and was setting on it, then you really couldn't make the gauge read less but you could still bend the arm to make it come off empty sooner.
