You can see it’s only an inch or so between the hubs.
But… Might be able to alter the angles enough by cutting the section between the tank and the curve and realigning it there using the rubber sleeve. ABS plumbing is cheap enough and I would prefer to get things lined up rather than apply stress at the tank and crack it. So if I mess up I can always start again!
Any way I go though, I will be cleaning and resealing it at the tank fitting.

A sleeve between the tank and the curve will also protect your tank in the event of an accident. You would be far better off if an impact pulled the pipe out of the sleeve instead of breaking your tank. I plan on doing that to our plumbing too and we've never had an issue.
