Let's just look at it from the perspective of the player who raises first into the pot. Let's take the example of a 6max cash game, and it folds to the SB. Let's say your range from SB includes no limping, for simplification. So, you open all pp from the SB.
Let's say you have established that if it folds to SB, you get dealt AA as the most frequent pp (as A is the least likely card for the previous 4 players to fold) and 22 as the least frequent pair. And you have also established that you get dealt 22 approximately 10% less often than AA. What you would do to account for this is when you enter your preflop range into the solver, you put AA with 100% frequency, and 22 with 90% frequency, even though you are actually opening both every time they're dealt to you.
After this adjustment (for every hand in your range, and every hand in villain's range), you should have solves which account for the preflop bunching effect. However, it still won't account for the postflop bunching effect, as certain cards are more or less likely to appear on each street, again due to the cards that have been folded or called.
