they are 270 degree connectors. it means if you have connectors under a board and use 90 degree ones, you can use them to get at the ports behind that would be impossible to reach. you probably still have to take the card out to connect it.

to be honest, if a 90 degree didn't fit I'm pretty sure a 270 on wont either :)

if a 90 fits in one sata connector, then it blocks the connector behind it. so you can use this one.
