Bend the whip on a magmount?

Can I bend the long whip so it stands vertically? Should I do it?
does the downward slope of the ground plane leave a problem

Although the issue may be more aesthetic than functional, I inform you
that I have a magnetic mount (built by Kathrein) that has a swivel at
the whip connection point. So, even if the mount is slanting, you can
adjust the swivel so that the whip is perfectly vertical.

A 2 Meter 5/8 Wave antenna is too long for a magnet mount.
