Just put in a new LED mirror in the bathroom , the fixings are just 2 screws in the wall then slide the mirror down onto them so the mirror brackets hang on the screws , simple enough but the wall is not square so the mirror has a big gap at the bottom

I want to have it pulled against the wall to make it look better but more importantly to stop it moving when the power button is pressed

Anybody have any advice on how I can pull the bottom against the wall ? Ideally something that won’t be visible
 
Apologies, the back of the mirror has a foam type seal around it that is about 20mm thick ,I also don’t want to adhere it to the wall seeing as it’s mains powered


It’s like I need another bracket on the bottom that doesn’t take the weight of the mirror but can can maybe have another part attached to

depending on the weight of the mirror and how much it naturally wants to hang from the wall at the bottom, some blutac can often be as good as anything to stop small movements. I've used a small piece in the past to level pictures that weren't hanging quite level.
 
Are the screws at the top the right depth in? Sometimes if they’re screwed a little too far in, a mirror/frame will do this.

Attach a batten to the wall behind the lower portion of the mirror that it can rest against to make it vertical?

Not sure that would work but has gave me an idea to add a bracket to the bottom of the mirror and another on wall , the one on the wall will act as a slot and the one I stick on the mirror will (hopefully) guide into the slot

Was kinda hoping there would be something they’d have in a diy shop to sort this problem

Yeah , I’ve tried adjusting them but essentially the mirror when sat on the screws is so well balanced it wants to sit perfectly plum

Just need some anti mavity brackets to be invented

Excellent ,i will look at both those , looks like I’ll need to glue something to the mirror itself though

3m strips come with 1 set for walls and 1 set for the item you want to stick. Just give it a try.
