2002 Sportman 500 fuel pump question

Picked up this bike for 500. Had a mr gasket electric fuel pump on it, and flooded out when running. I ordered a replacement stock pump, installed it but the inlet is pretty much right on top of the petcock.

So…. it looks good as far as mounting based upon the PDF of the service manual, but something has to be wrong.

Thoughts? Idea’s? Suggestions???

Thanks
