I wonder if the lower outlet is angled differently to cause the hose to tilt downward against the frame? FWIW, I'm using a Champion CC369 radiator:

I have the problem where the lower hose fitting on the radiator does not angle up. I suspect the correct OEM radiator has that feature. The fitting on my radiator is horizontal and points right at the frame rail. I suspect that a PO installed a radiator from a later model year.
Situation is complicated by the fact that the radiator fitting and water pump fittings are different diameters. I found a hose that bends up and around the frame rail. It is from a later model gm truck.
I think I went with ACDelco AC24053L. Fits okay by applying a little twist when clamping it in. Not perfect, but it work.
