Default HY-Gain Trap Orientation th5mk2

I am installing a used Hy-Gain th5mk2 tribander.
A previous owner added screws on some of the elements at the
boom to element clamp and between element sections.
This is not mentioned in the manual.

Unfortunately whoever added the screws forgot to make sure
the trap assembly drain holes point down. They are up to
20 or so degrees from straight down. Is this good enough
or would it be better to remove the screws so the traps can
be adjusted with the drain holes down?
