I have the same GPU and I was wondering if bending the tubes to this degree will make any damage or may cause any leaks in the future?Thanks!any input would be much appreciated! thanks!

If you touch the tubes and feel it is under a lot of strain then maybe reconsider the way the tubes are bending but from one glance, it doesn't look like it will get damaged. Just feel to see if there is a lot of strain on the tubes.

So long as the tubes are not/don't become kinked, I wouldn't worry.

The tubes will be fine, as they are designed to bend. In the long term, the only real issue would be the part where the tubes meet the radiator. The heat and tension could slowly warp the fittings. Your best bet would be to loop the tubes the other way like so:
