Default Question for those with Spideright-type reflectors

If you had two of these "optimal" or "Spiderlight type" reflectors over a 4' tank, but you "really, really" wanted the focal point of the light to be in the center of the tank, could you take two of these reflectors and angle them a bit so that they point a little bit into the center (as opposed to directly downwards)?

For example, if you put a triangular shim under them where they mount to the canopy.

It seems to me, this could be one potential way to increase the light coming in from the side? For example, some coral heads get so large that they block light to themselves on the bottom.
