It will most likly leak in the near future. Pipes do not like to be taken apart and put back together. You may have pushed the pipe in the floor or wall into its mate. If you pull on it, it may extend to reach where you want it. I would replace the parts. It will most likly leak in the near future. Pipes do not like to be taken apart and put back together.

I would say to use two elbows but you will probably not have room. You can try getting someone that bends pipe to fabricate a section for you. The easiest way will be to use a flex hose. Trust me. It will be easy if you use the flex hose. the problem you will have is that you only have 3 to work with. I would say to use two elbows but you will probably not have room.

Never try to make old plumbing work when you need to make modifications. It will more than likely leek and cause problems in the future. Go to Home Depot and get the kit like your friend said.
