jambs on door liner not straight...

I am trying to install a door liner. But, the jambs on the door liner are not straight. They are very bent and therefore i cannot get a straight finish. I am just wondering whether this will cause a problem when fitting the door? or do I give the door liner back and get a new straight one?!
