Hi

I am trying to line up soil pipe for Vitra wall hung toilet using Geberit Duofix frame but the soil pipe branch is too high for Geberit 90 degree elbow connector that comes with the box.

I am thinking to swivel the branch like the photo below and use a flexible pan connector to connect straight from toilet to soil pipe without using Geberit fitting. Will it work given the branch is tilted at an angle?

Yes you can do that.
But, looks like it needs rotating more.
That angle seems it will put a hump in the run.
 
Thank you. I will try to lower the frame and rotate the pipe so reduce the hump.
Is there any tip on getting the soil pipe or flexible connector sitting tightly on the frame now that I am unable to use Geberit fitting?

When you use a flexi rather than the supplied elbow, then you use a long enough flexi that you can connect whilst pan is out of situ... Then it concertinas back when you offer it up to the frame... This usually means the soil pipe has to be further back away from the frame.
Looking at your situation, it looks like you'll have to reconfigure that branch pipe to suit... I don't think you'll get it as it is... Too tight angles and clearances.
