Not a problem in practice. The connector things are kind of V shaped, so as long as you get it in the right ballpark, it guides the thing to where it needs to be.
These aren't a permanent solution (for me) because you can only use one particular bottle. But if you put that aside, they work fine in the real world.

Red. But it's not just the color, I want the whole cage to match.

Yep. Bikes look similar. Little details like bar tape and cages can make one stand out from another.
