Could you rotate the first image on your computer, then re-upload it?
when you "branch out" you should do so in the same direction for all corners... (otherwise as you notice the perspective comes out wrong) in your E eaxmple that means the lower-left bracnh should go up-wards and the lower-right one wil not be needed at all (since it is effectively "behind" the front)

(if this do not make sense i can make a quick drawing if you like, just reply below)
