Looks almost like you could take a link out of each chain to reduce the angles involved. When we have the gearbox centrally located between the drive wheels, we make the chains as short as possible. Then we use washers under the transmission mounting plate to raise the tranny to remove slack. It is amazing how little is required if the chains are short, perhaps one or two washers will suffice, as there is little chain wear or stretch (we use #35 chain). Any sort of shim material will work, and it only takes a couple of minutes to loosen the mounting bolts a bit and slide in more shims.
