misalignment of corrugated hose elbow?

I bought a DR Travel 360 wing from ScubaToys about 3 months ago and didn't had time to test it til last week.
During the trip I found that my corrugated hose couldn't align with the left shoulder harness.
Upon closer inspection I found that my elbow of the hose is at a 11 o'clock position,away from my left shoulder harness rather than at the 1230 o'clock position,
Like most wings are. I checked the ScubaToys website and found that the picture displayed is different from what I've got.
The one in the picture is the correct version. Did I get a defective product?

Hi,
you can un screw the fitting that holds the hose to the wing and re position the fitting to the position that you are looking for.
The octagonal hose fitting inserts into an octagonal fitting on the wing, so it can be rotated.

Thanks Jim. How do I unscrew the fitting? Just twist it like how you would open a bottle cap?

Hi,
hold on to the elbow and turn the nut under it counter clockwise. I think it has about 6 or 8 threads on the fitting.
Note: do not twist too hard, the plastic is thin.
