Default Internal wastegate adapter?

So I swapped my puny Incon 4.5psi actuators for 10psi actuators and now the nipples on the new actuators are either obstructed or hitting exhaust manifolds. If I spin the actuators 180 it will work but it kinks the hose. Are there 90º adapter fittings for these? I saw there are 90º plates but I think that would cut off too many threads on the actuators PLUS i'm supposed to go to the tuner on Tuesday. Any help would be appreciated!

I can only get a shot of the drivers side. The nipple is right on top of the aft engine mount bolt. Now I can spin it 180º but the hose would rub the exhaust manifold. But if I could put a 90º connector on the nipple I could have the hose hug the side of the actuator it would clear everything. On the passenger side the nipple rests on the 02 sensor, I couldn't fit my phone in there for a picture. I was thinking of going down to local parts store and getting some vacuum line 90º fittings. I just didn't know if anyone else had this problem. I just need it to work for tomorrows dyne session. I'm going to get some of those 90º rotation plates.

JB weld a tight 90 with hard line. OR use smaller diameter silicone hose.

Sounds like a plan. The only thing that really sucks is I have to lower the K-member to get to the face of the turbo to remove the brackets. This is one of those Incon kits....It seems when they made these kits you could forget about getting to anything....without removing half the kit lol
