Default Clutch master cylinder install--does this look right?

I am installing a new stock clutch master and am stuck--I don't feel like I'm getting it to turn clockwise far enough. When I turn it as far as it will go, the hose for the reservoir is hitting the firewall at an awkward angle, sort of crimping it. It doesn't seem like it should be like that, but I forgot to take a picture of how the original one was before I removed it. Does anyone have a picture of a correctly installed stock clutch master?

Well, here's the best I could do. The hose is slightly kinked, but it really won't turn anymore. I guess I'll run it this way.

Thanks a lot for the pics! I guess if it was good enough for GM that way, it's good enough for me. Cheers!
