Default XKS braided cam oil line

Has anyone tried the braided cam oil line made and sold by XKS? The banjo fittings are all facing the same direction whilst the opening in the block and the 2 cam feeder openings are at 90 degrees. I talked to parts and they said this is the way they are made and you have to twist the line to get it to fit. This appears to put quite a bit of unnatural strain on the line and its connections. They also said I'm the first person to complain about this.

I still think the part they supplied was defective. A picture on Google showed the replacement to have the banjos in the proper directions. Parts dept. was of no help whatsoever. I sent it back. I agree that a braided line is superior but only if it fits. By the way, what size(kind) of rubber seal did you use.

I posted earlier this year with pictures from mine around the holidays...
Its a round washer with a rubber inner rings, bone dry.
Yes fiddle with them till its correct but once done it looks great just as well.
