Help routing power wires to outdoor enclosure

Getting Started

I’m trying to install a Rachio 3 in an outdoor enclosure. My previous controller was hardwired. I have power wires coming from an indoor outlet through a hole drilled in the exterior. It was routed through a 90˚ bend and a type C conduit body directly vertically into the old controller. The slot for the power wires for the Rachio outdoor controller is slightly to the left of my old enclosure. Could anyone give me a suggestion how to route the conduit to it? Or would it be better/easier to drill a new hole for the wires?

I tried using an LB body and flexible conduit to connect it, but it’s too tight of a turn with the connectors.

My not really working solution:

You really don’t need that bulky piece. Use the flexible pvc conduit that is used with outdoor HVAC instead:

This would allow you to easily make the bend from your hole up to the enclosure.
