Default oil inlet angle

I am having trouble getting my center housing of my journal bearing garrett turbo to fit at the usual 12 o clock for the inlet and 6 for the drain line. I have the inlet at a 25 degree angle from vertical. In other words if you were to start at vertical and move clock wise 25 degrees that is the angle that my inlet is at right now. Will this work? The drain is therefore at the same angle but facing downward. The drain is a -10an if that makes a difference.

The closer to 12 and 6 the better as you want the drain to work as best as possible, but as said above, as long as the drain isn't restricted then it should be ok. Got any pics of the drain?
