   Not difficultat all.
   Tighten the caliper end.
   Hold the body end secure and tighten the metal pipe from the car in to it.

   As said, you only get twisting if you fasten the car brake union side first and THEN try to tighten them into the caliper.
   
   Do it the other way around and you'll find you can twist it so it sits naturally before you clamp it into the bracket.
