Aligned jaws set up and head position

[ttf_bonenick]

Recently I started experimenting with aligning jaws setup....It enables me to go higher than ever, but here is the "issue" :

The back part of the trombone prevents me from put the angle high enough to play with aligned jaws. So I see myself forced the put the head downward, so I can put the mouthpiece at the desired angle. Is this bad?

That's sort of what I have to do too.  I've considered trying a bent shank but haven't done it yet.
