This was the right tip. The problem seems to be fixed, and all I did was remove the exterior vent, bent the pipes so that they were naturally very close to being in the right position, and reassembled. (I also straightened a slight bend in the metal plate that separates the exhaust side from the intake side). I didn't have to remove the fridge again!

Thanks very much, Wes
