Anyway, my question is, my friendly RAC neighbour suggested bending the arm to achieve the correct position but to check with others ergo will it snap etc. Any advice gratefully received.

On our Roadster the nearside mirror arm is much more upright than the offside, this allows the round mirror to be adjusted to give a perfect view down the nearside of the car from the drivers seat. As DaveW states the mirror arm should rotate at the knuckle where the arm meets the door attachment. I suspect there is a spring that holds the arm in the specific positions. I would post a picture, but haven't mastered that art on here yet. Anyway, hope this helps.
