Default Q: on banjo fitting......

I was looking at putting the banjo fitting on my EB carb, but I got to scratching my head when I took it out of the package. Their are holes in the piece that screws into the carb, and one outlet hole on the piece that turn down. Do these holes have to line up? Looks very restrictive to me......

The bolt that goes through the fitting is a necked bolt, so the holes do not need to line up: the fuel flows around the necked part of the bolt, allowing the fitting to be rotated to any position.
