It took me a while to get it inside both brackets, as I had to fight to push it "compressed".  Doesn't that fold the inner tubing unnecessarily though?  Or am I worrying too much?

You're worrying too much.  My line looks exactly the same.

Maybe there's a purpose for the slack.. like it allows you enough room
to drop the axle enough to get a wrench on the fittings?  Can't
recall.
