Are the tubes appropriately sized for your condition? The one on the left seems to be very narrow.

I'd rather not worry about a leak developing. What about turning the radiator upside down?

Usually you wouldn't want tubes at the top of the radiator in an AIO, but sometimes it's unavoidable. The left hose seems too tight. I'm really let down. 420mm tubes should be longer.

You're restricting the flow by bending the tubes, which could cause even greater harm.

As long as the CPU block stays below the radiator's top, it's fine.

Best to flip the radiator. There's too much tension on the tubes and there's too much possibility of causing an issue with leaks over time.

Yes, those tubes are too tight. You can simply reverse the radiator—it won’t affect how it sits relative to the pump, because the radiator remains above the pump. Moreover, with use, the tubes might crack or detach from the radiator or pump/block assembly, leading to leaks.
