Looks like the caliper was installed without the hose attached and the twisting was due to the hose being forced into the caliper. You have a 1 in 360 chance to get it straight(+-5 Deg). You will still have to open the bleed screw to move the pistons and therefore have to bleed it to make sure there is no air.

You can file out a portion of the lip if it is still hard to remove.
