Default Plate chiller placement help

I want to gravity feed from the keggle to the PC. I know that works, but can the PC then gravity feed to the carboy if the PC is mounted below as shown by the black square on the stand? Would it need to be mounted at an angle?

I'll have about a four inch drop between keggle and PC. The carboy would be about 3-4 inches below the PC.

I would say try it with hot water first, checking pre and post chiller temps. I'm guessing it will work fine, though.
