X-brace underneath car

What is the main purpose of the X-shaped brace underneath the car/exhaust because I have problems putting this back on with an aftermarket exhaust. Should I be concerned?

YOu can bend the plate or you can try putting spacers under the plate such as washers etc. That might make you a happy camper.
