Bosch 69466 Length vs OEM (Fuel pump)

Maybe some help?
I've bought a Bosch replacement, 69466 made in Czech pump, low side adaptor is adding dimension vs the original integrated low pressure side coupling. Red arrow.
It's overall 1.25 inches longer and looks like I'd need to cut the low side fuel hose down, or have access or restriction from the banjo side. I don't like either much. I'm replacing as maintenance so I can wait for the correct length.

Anyone install this? Any tips/regrets/issues? I can return. I guess tighten banjo first, then move pump to the left and connect to rubber hose? It looks like the banjo would come close to touching the car frame once installed without cutting some low side hose length? Testing around while fuel drips on me is not worth extra 50 bucks if I can buy the right size pump or am assured this will work easily. (this one was already x2 the price of the other bosch pump as it said oem fitment, and it was made in Europe)

EDIT*** Direct Fitment, no modification necessary of any kind, plenty of cable and clearance***

Thanks,
Phil
