Is this normal? (BOV Related)

I recently had a Renntech BOV installed and I was just looking and noticed this weird bent/angle shape on both side. Please see image below. The black tube looks bent. I do believe seeing it came stock like this? I was wondering if this is normal or if I am being paranoid. . I can't seem to make them straight.

Well the heat shrink is just bent over... When its not shrunk it pretty brittle and folds over relatively easy. Nothing to be concerned about, those wires inside are fine bro

After much consideration Bubb Rubb says you and your blow off valves are good.

you could always take a lighter or heat gun and shrink it to make it look pretty. But in regards to the routing of the wires it appears fine to me. more or less how I would do it.

if I did anything I'd undo that velcro (can't remember what exactly that stuff is called, similar to velcro, I use it to keep hoses together in the shop) and add a C-hair more service loop above the connector so the bend isn't quite to aggressive and possibly pulling on those pins
