so I will mount the AIO at the top like the pic, tubes coming down from the right, but I have marked in red how id like the tubes to be located. theyre show to be on the right side but was thinking to mount on the left side (shown in red). is this possible or too much stress twistoing the tubes?

aio is in the mail but asking ahead of time.

as long as someone didnt say "ive tried it and dont do it" ill check and see. I realize itll block the top logo but meh. dont care for bling. I may cover it with carbon fiber sticker I have anyway.

IMHO you will need to spin the rad if you want the head unit flipped like that. nowhere near enough tube length as-is.

From what I understand, the main problematic mounting is to have the radiator on the front intake with the tubes on the top, so a bubble can form at the top of the radiator, travel up the tubes and into the pump.
That isn't what you are doing, so you should be fine.
I'd just make sure the tubes aren't stretched taut.
