Default Bent Oil Cooler Mounts

Here's a quick one for you all:

Should my oil cooler mounts extend straight out toward the front of the car or be slightly bent as shown in the photo?

The question came to mind as I was sorting out my broken Instrumounts.

Mucho Mea-Culpas for the zip-tie fix. It's only temporary - I SWEAR!!!

They should be straight not bent down. I just use channel locks to straighten them out

Thanks Brutal. I'll take care of it when I replace the mounts.

It always bugged me that I would hit the oil cooler before anything else up front when parking. It never occurred to me that the cooler was NOT really supposed to be that low.
