Default Correct Control Horn Installation

Hello-

I am trying to install both my rudder and elevator control horns on my second Avistar. The manual says to place the rudder control horn one inch above my hinged horizontal stabilizer. Placing the control horn at the recommended location creates a significant downward bend in my pushrod wire. Is it okay to place the control horn higher up on the rudder to create a straight pushrod wire. I installed the pushrod wires first just to see where they would lineup on the rudder.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
