It looks like the A/C was put in the roof opening before adequate bracing to frame out the opening was installed. I'd remove the A/C and put bracing from one roof brace to the other on both sides of the opening and box in 14" square.

The ac mounting kit literally comes with 1 bracket well 15 yrs later it’s sagging from poor design! An ac mounting kit should have 2 supports plus the 14” framing

Extruded aluminum can be purchased far cheaper than $370 Look either online or at a big box hardware store.
