Welcome to shimpakus! Some thoughts...
1. The trunk was twisted, so you'll need to also twist those branches to have the appeal of repetition and consistency. Now is a good time, if you can do it without disturbing the repotted roots.
2. The straight branch is a sacrifice branch. It will cause reverse taper where it joins the trunk. If that has started to happen, start reducing it now (cut it back by half, and keep it thinned out), or Jin it and incorporate it with a little Shari as shown.
3. Since the trunk is straight where it meets the soil, it needs to thicken. Carving some oval-shaped Sharis will cause swelling on both sides. Carving on the back as shown will help widen that straight section.
I'd start there, then feed it heavily, keep it in lots of sun and enjoy it for the year.
