So to fix that, I'll click the inlet, and then I'll click the one across from it. And the reason I'm doing that is I want to steal this grip. There's a convenient trick we can use here. Next, I'll click the circular grip for the first inlet. And you'll notice that I can use this to rotate the inlet.
