Default Is this safe...?

My car's been jacked up for two days, and for as long as I can remember, I've jacked it up by the subframe connectors. 1 in front under the front subframe, and one in the rear around the torque boxes (not on them) on the rear subframe.

Well, I might be exhausted, and this is a distinct possibility, but it looks like the front subframe of my car is sagging, but I'm not 100% sure. It appears to be at a slight downard angle, but it may have been like this before.

Is there a possibility that the front subframe could buckle if jackstands are placed under the rear of the front subframes under subframe connectors? I have work in like 4 hours but I'll run outside and drop the poor car if u guys think so. Please answer asap.

Oh, btw- it's a hatch and the doors have been closed the whole time that it's been up.

It is possible, I know on my '87 'vert it sags bad when I lift it like that. You can check by opening the doors while is is jacked up. I just lift it under the axle in the back and the control arms in the front now and it is fine.
