Fitting new Kitchen sink tap, but flexible hose is too long

Undo the 90 degree elbows on the copper pipes and turn them to make the hose loops better.

That's a good Idea, it would have worked for the front pipe but I doubt that would have helped for the back pipe

Finally managed to get it done.
The existing Flexible hose was 35 cm. Got a 30 cm hose with compression joint. Removed the T joint and connected it directly to the pipe. Working fine for now. Fingers crossed

Thanks everyone for your help

Can't you slacken off the elbow on the pipe that you're screwing the flexipipe on to, and rotate it a bit? (and then retighten it!)

Thanks, that might have worked but now it's all fit and not going to touch it for some time hopefully. Might be useful next time while replacing another tap.
