Does this boost hose look right?

I ordered a set of forge hoses for my 996 turbo. Was going to put new ones on while doing 997.2rs upgrade. The drivers side lower boost hose looks like it's turned the wrong way to me.
Am I right there or do you just force it to work. Others look good to me. The passenger side lower is a little off but I think it's not bad.

That doesn't look right to me...In addition to the shape not matching, there is no aluminum retaining ring on the right side. There will be nothing to hold it into the IC.

I have the aluminum push to fit fittings. I just haven't put them on yet. I was just quickly looking at it this morning. I will look closer this afternoon.

Ah - it still looks like there will be a fold in the hose near where it connects to the turbo.

Yes it is. I just went over to my garage and looked at the hoses again. They are right.
