Custom Hardline loop ideas?

So about a month ago I finished my first watercooled build: https://imgur.com/a/ptuoEP9. Unfortunately, I had to replace the pump/res and I ended up with this since I needed a working computer and didn't want to redo all the bends: https://imgur.com/a/Lb81oQ8. I don't like the bend going across from the radiator to the pump, and I was wondering you guys had any ideas on what the best to do it would be. I have a couple ideas, but they all involve a bend going from one side of the case to another, but I'd like to avoid that if possible

Ironically I saw your PCPer build while looking up whether or not a FTW3 Hybrid card would fit in that case ;)

Anyways heres my suggestion: Move the outlet of the block to the "rear" top port and use the "front" top port to make a straight line (no diagonals) to the  pumpUntitled3.png.182a6ac3cbd229a94a15cf934ef92962.png

That sounds good, I'll try that, but do you think it would be possible to the CPU bend without a 90 degree fitting?

Most likely, I havent done any hardline watercooling myself though
