Fluval 405 Question

I just finished installing a Fluval 405 in my 75G. It's my first canister filter, I've been using over the backs before. My question is on the output side. The output connector sticks out really far. I used the clamp connectors and put the suction cups on and I left about 4" on the hose. I placed the output connected on and it sticks out really far. I also cant seem to get the connector straight. It also creates large waves. Has anyone else ever have this problem? Is there another kind of output connector that could be used in place of the one that came with the filter?

I never thought about adding a suction cup to the output. It's about 3-4" below the water level. I probably have enough slack in the hose that I could lower the output port further down. Yes, the wave is created from the output. It shoots the water straight across the tank up to the front, 18". I thought this was a bit excessive is all, if its normal then ok.
