Yeah thats tricky to line up. I find its easier to push the union down on to the pump body while getting the banjo to catch as thats the best chance of getting it parallel with the threads.
One other thing is to make sure the ribs on the black plastic nut aren't fouling the hard line, as they can stop it sitting flat. It looks like you may have one sitting right under the hard line, in which case just try to move the nut 1/4" way or the other to give a bit more room.
