What was the ADBV like? I think this is supposed to be a silicone one. Was it still flexible?
The media does look deformed, a common problem with Fram filters, as the endcaps and centertube don't give it any support.
If you think about it, since the media is bent, that would shorten it's overall length. Since Fram's endcaps are open on both ends and are used for sealing, this could potentially cause a leak.
