This is a puzzler. I don't think the support softens up much when soaked. It may be possible to straiten the film by soaking it

I'm among those that don't think it would be a good idea to soak the neg;
just keep the emulsion at reasonable room humidity, and perhaps warm
the neg a little (like 80F) which may accelerate flattening.
Or, I'd just try scanning it in the glass carrier and claim artifacts of the
crease are lomographic effects, those are trendy.
