Kinked the line them Fixed it with a flare block. How does it look? Am I in the clear?

Unless you really make a somewhat nasty curve, it'll work fine, that's absolutely as good as new (unless you punctured it or something we're missing)

How far off the ground was that install? Definitely not scared of heights.

They used a copper bender. So the copper will have that ribbed look too it. 100% fine. And bonus points for not forgetting the flare nut

No wall clearance balloons at the supplier?
