Need advice on hydraulic fittings for Merc trim pump

I'm looking for advice on hydraulic hose fittings for my Mercruiser trim pump hoses:

As built by Rinker in 2007, the hydraulic hoses from the trim pump to the outdrive had a 90 degree bend at the pump.  I'm installing new transom assemblies, and the hoses have a 45 degree bend.  Unfortunately, the hoses don't clear the steering gear.

The pump has 1/4" Parker ST Series quick-release fittings.  A male-to-female fitting with a 45 or 90 deg bend would work, but I can't find one.  Do I need to find a local outfitter and make custom adapters?  Surely somebody on this forum has tackled this problem.
