Mine is a solid pipe with a flex section in the middle.

yeah same as mine. the pic I showed look like one of the end which suppose to connect to do oil pan. if you do it opposide way, there is no way you can fit it in to the oil pan. that's what I try to meant.

I just rememered, I used metal clamps to fit it right before I screw it.

I know pic is suck but you got the point I think. I tight the screw on the clamp to adjust the return line to the hole on the oil pan.

I know where it goes and how it needs to be installed. Mine is one piece and part of it is hitting the AC compressor.

I did not, I used it as is. left side goes in the to oil pan, right isde goes in to the turbo.

but I was not enough strong to align the oil pan screw holes and the retun line end. so I used clamps to adjust it.

You really need to use some force to do it.

It was so f**ing hard, I did not even put the gasket between the return line and oil pan.

I was able to get all the nuts and bolts on, but didn't tighten them because it looked like something was about to break.

edit- So you basically twisted the lower section to make it fit right?

yep same thing! hohohoho it's like flashback . I was so afraid that I was going to bend the screws I screw them in very very slowly. it took me maybe 30mins to tight 2 screws on oilpan.

I twisted it maybe like 45°.

if you mean twist by turning it 180°, then you connect the top end opposide way.
