Default Tbss fuel rail?!

So I just got my vette filter in for my tbss intake swap and I notice the stock tbss fuel line does not match up. What can I use without kinking the line to bend it so it fits right?

Yes but it flipped it to make room from the vette fuel filter.

Do they hit bad? Can you just make a small dent and be all set?
