Heat up your tubes in hot water for a few minutes and bend them to proper angle. Then let them cool, keeping them bent. It should stay close to the way you want it. Should help reduce the stress the tubes are putting on the res. Works with the vinyl tubing I use in my fishtank. Probably should work with the Tygon R-3603 you're using.

Or you can use elbows. Not the nicest solution but it will work.
