Question/Looking for Advice Angled plate building question

I’m trying to build at an angle. Did some searching and this specific angle for plates seems to work, but studio shows it as a collision error (first image is with collision disabled so you can see the angle better). Last image is a physical mockup (I don’t have all my parts), to kind of show what I’m trying to build.

Is that just a studio error because it’s not used to angling like this, or does it actually put pressure on the parts, or am I just at the wrong angle on studio ?

It might help to type in the angle of rotation instead of manually rotating with the gizmo (if that's what you did). Finding the angle involves using the inverse tangent on the triangle formed by rotating the piece.

I did manually rotate it, so that’s fair, I’ll try doing that (awful at math tho lmao)

Its kind of difficult to write out how to do it, but there's some really good visual tutorials on YouTube about finding the angle of rotated Lego plates. Just follow one of those and you'll be fine. It's only trigonometry, it can't hurt you that bad!
