If it is a 90 degree elbow then the path must be a quarter of a circle.

Okay,  sure.   A must 43mm, B must be 50mm. Others can change. Thanks a lot.

Like this?  If so, see attached Revit 2002 family (I don't have 2020) and you can replicate it in your original 2020 file.

You can easily fix your family by yourself.

Just do the following:

Go to Family Editor

--> tab: Ref.Level

--> select the Swept Blend

--> press “Edit Swept Blend”

--> press “Sketch Path” 

--> select the magenta line representing the Sketch Path

--> you will see a tiny circle (near the middle of the path) that is slightly off axis

--> drag it to the dead center of the reference lines cross

--> press the green "check" , and "check" again

--> your family is OK and aligned

It's Revit 2022, not 2002 (typo). If you cannot open it, then you can fix your file yourself by re-drawing the swept blend path as a quarter of an ellipse, which sets the profile 1 and profile 2 planes align with their target ref planes, and that should be it.

Sorry the quarter ellipse should be between the inside faces of the two rings.
