Default Advice on my oil drain location

I drilled and taped my oil pan last night with a 10an fitting. Today i noticed how stupid i was because i just assumed it will be fine and above the oil level, but the oil pickup tube is behind the location i drilled. It has some space between it but i dont know if it is enough for the turbo drain.
Any advice? Should i redrill to a other location or would this be fine?

Thanks, Robin

probably just fine. Unscrew the fitting, see how far it is protruding into the pan. remove anything past the pan. win.

I even chamfered the inner (ID) edge of the fitting, just to promote drain.
