Need help with shocks

[1moretoy]

Hey guys I ordered a new 9" from currie and they welded some new shock mounts directly to the housing. They look good only problem is they don't line up with the factory upper mounts. I'm not sure why they even did this as I never asked them to. With that said has anyone changed the mounting location like this. I was thinking I could make some new upper mounts on the factory cross bar. Not sure if shocks need to be angled a lot and inward like the factory or if i can mount them a little more vertical and straight. This is what the mounts look like. Please let me know your thoughts.
