Default oil in pipe fouling on turbo

Hi guys.

Well I have taken the turbo off today to turn the housing so that the oil goes from top to bottom. Slight ptoblem, the manifold that goes onto the turbo is preventing me from having the oil in pipe directly above. Does it matter if its about 75 degress rather than 90?

Well I guess it will be ok, could the issue be solved with a different shape pipe for example a banjo type fitting?
