Screw calculated and delivered a little short in my opinion, it ends at 1m from the end of the silo, the inclined triangle section of the end has an inclination of only 25/30 ° only.
In photo 1, the engine is horizontal, at my place, the installer has just put it vertical and it can move a little (slight rotation) is this normal?

Congratulations first !!!
1) The inclined plane: in my opinion, this is not a problem; I have the same configuration, with part of the V, too long, which does not lead to the screw; the screws, it is in pieces of about 1 m I believe; therefore effectively, impossible to fall straight on the length of the silo if it is suitable for the premises; in my mind, I even found that it was, in retrospect, a very good idea: it is a "reserve of pellets" - of course you have to enter the silo with a shovel, but suddenly you don't never runs out of pellets; on the other hand, this part must be emptied once every two years: it is not recommended to keep the pellets for more than two years because, like cornflakes, they "soften" (they take moisture from the air) ...
2) You're right, it's me that the engine is not in the right position; I saw a doc later, on which the engine is shown in a vertical position; I think it doesn't matter, so I left! He moves a bit: normal too. It's the same with me.
