Not having a brace shouldn't matter. No clue why things are so out of whack though. If the frame shop said the frame was straight, and not tweaked in some manner...... Anyones guess what is really going on there.
Take one of your tie rods to the hardware store, get a nut that will thread onto it. (that might be a problem for the left-hand threads though, I doubt you'll find a nut for that one....) Twist the nut on till the amount you want to cut off is sticking out, hack it off with some manner of saw/cut-off wheel, then take the nut off. That will kinda/sorta correct the threads The other one, you will likely need to dress it with a small file.

So, have several saw blades/cutoff wheels handy.
