I'm wondering if this ruling means that the trailer must be positioned 90 degrees with respect to the wall. I guess I wonder what "flush" means.

Because the trailer tongue is attached at a corner of the trailer, not on a face, the end opposite the tongue is a corner as well. I would think this should give a fair bit of wiggle room to be "flush" and still have something of an angle on it.
