The drain hose exiting the dishwasher has to make 90 degree turn to get to the
sink. The hose is not kinked, but it's definitely hitting the wall behind the
dishwasher. The hose is the right one because it came with the dishwasher. It is
possible to put a 90 degree elbow in a dishwasher drain? I don't think so.

Find a copper sweat fitting that fits inside the hose. Cut the hose an
inch or two away from the outlet and insert the fitting, right angled,
a 45 degree, whatever works best. Clamps aren't necessary in that low
pressure situation.

Plumbing is never easy, to me, anyway,
for an electrical guy.

As a non-plumber and non-electrician I've always been surprised by the
variety of plumbing systems that the home owner must grapple with. The
occasional electrical repair uses a much more standardized approach
with its hardware. I believe this difference can be accounted for by
the fact that man has been using various form of plumbing since the
dawn of recorded history (say back to the Minoans or Byzantines) while
electrical technology probably began around the time of Ben Franklin.
