Default Solenoid fitting help.

I am installing a HSW kit on my '01 Corvette. The fuel line was too short so I went to Lowes and bought these 90 degree bends, now the line will fit. Is there going to be a problem with having a 180 turn out of the solenoid like this?

Personally, I'd get a -4AN to 1/8 NPT adapter and just put the solenoid right on the fitting that has the FPSS. Then, you'd have a straight shot and no bends.

It looks like you have a kit with the intake mounted solenoid brackets (the fuel hose is shorter on those kits)?

I thought about that, but I but I was trying to hide as much as I could under the fuel rail covers.
