What is wrong with my mainsail?

My mainsail hangs with a diagonal crease that I can't seem to get rid of. The sail was new a few years ago and was purchased while I was restoring the boat - which included replacing the inner stay chainplates. I also changed the furling gear and afterwards it seemed that the inner aft stays and the aft stays were shorter than before.
Might the rake of the mast create this problem or might it be a poorly constructed sail? I have attached a picture in case one of the expert sailors on the list can make a suggestion.
Thanks,
