How to improve standing rigging

Can I get a crash course in standing rigging? I have a ketch rig so a little more complicated but I am willing to learn how to tune it.
Had to rebuild our main mast step and had the mast removed. Since having it installed and the rigging tuned by a less than professional rigger but that’s what we had to work with, I have noticed some things that concern me.
One side seems to have more tension that the other on the main.
Back stays/Shrouds on mizzen seem really loose.
Should there be a bend in the spreaders? There is a significant downward bend (IMO) on the port side spreader and the starboard cable has less tension than the port.
I am going to need some rigging work done once we get back to Florida but I’d rather make it there safely as possible given the circumstances.
