Long term effects of running a fan on a diagonal?

Strange question i suppose, but I am air cooling my plants using a Noctua A20 fan (very nice and silent!). However to get the flow I desire, i need them on a diagonal, are there any considerations for the long term effects of this, or is it all okay?

Expanded clay pellets ;) this is a deepwater culture hydroponics setup, no soil. The stuff that looks like soil in the other ones is coconut husk.

No, the force in axial direction because of the air is much greater than any gravitational force that would be diagonal. Nothing to worry
