Bend AIO tubes?

I installed my h100i last night after much jigging and struggling and its all up and running well

However the tubes press up against the rear fan and ive had to pull them forward and secure it with cable ties to the drive wrack.

They won't stay if I just bent them forward a bit
Is there a way to "train" them to sit a bit different? Its like they was just bent round to much in the box and now their rest position is a bit fierce like.

I only need them to move about 1cm

Keeping them secured with the cable ties will "train" them

OK so just keep them tied and they should sort themselves out?
Cool

Yes once your fluids got upto temp for a few days they'll stay where you've got them give or take a few cm.

Thanks

Ok thanks guys, I'll budge them forward a bit more then leave them tied for a couple of weeks and remove the ties when I install the RGB case lights.

This wasn't an issue with the smaller AIO i just took out so never needed to try reshaping the path of the tubes but these ones on the H100i are MUCH thicker, couldn't mount the rad the other way coz the back of my optical drive blocked the pipes.
