You can sometimes get the flexible hose to bend in a helpful direction by loosening the nut and rotating the fitting a small amount at the non-calliper end (where it goes through the frame front/valence), you do need to be careful as you don't want to kink it, this may be enough to allow some clearance.
The other method is to use a hose with wire loops as a protective boundary.
Lastly you can try using a cable tie (or similar) to clip and route the hose to ensure that it does not touch the main spring, but this is really only a last resort as it does not look good and might get comments from an MoT tester.
I have never seen an angled fitting on a +8 (but that is not to say that MMC never fitted them!)
