Relying on gravity to align a cable with it's exit port is a fool's errand. All cables have some lengthwise bend/shape to them which gravity won't straighten. But to use this bend, or add a short dog leg at the cable's end, is a time honored method to try to catch the exit port while both pushing of the cable while twisting it. The twisting will make the cable end move about and hopefully let it catch/find the exit. Andy.
