Grease fitting issues

Hey All. I've always had trouble getting the top knuckle fitting to take grease. I can eventually get enough in but I waste so much that pushes out between the fitting and collar. I've removed the fittings and they are not clogged. I think my issue is I can't get a good angle due to the boot on the axle. I ordered this $12 90 degree adaptor hoping it will help. If it doesn't I guess I'll just return it and try something else. Anyone else have this problem?

I pulled all 4 of the grease fittings out and put in ones that have a 45 angle.

Then for my grease gun I picked up a locking tip. Makes things a lot easier.
