I bought a large poster and I tried to hang it and realise the middle is dented and it is triggering me internally. 

 

I need the best option to handle this. 

 

I've placed 4 screws separated out evenly and I plan on moving the bottom two screws higher to unbend the pole, Is this a good idea?

Alright, I've managed to fix it a bit to the extent of not being really able to recognise the dent a bit, but here is a picture. You can see the small dent after the screw http://prntscr.com/klcbe8

Lower your standards and life will be easier. 
I can't tell, but if it's still not good enough, careful heat I guess could bend it. Its kinda hard to press it under something since it would just roll, so you'dd have to clamp the ends, which is a risk to marring it.

Well my standards are low enough but its just a bit triggering if you focus on it, If I don't then it looks normal lol

You could try applying heat via hair dryer (or heat gun), but I feel that it would bend the plastic too easily and possibly deform it more. Rn is prolly the best you'll get, unless you change out the pole completely.

 

On a slightly unrelated note, what wall scroll is it? :3

I thought it looked familiar. I actually have the same one, but it's in print and is framed, bought it at AX:
