I'm trying to figure out if my dryer ducting setup is okay. I had to pull the dryer out for access, so I installed it this way. Can anyone tell me if this is a safe method? If not, what alternatives do I have? Thanks!

Honestly, that ducting setup looks like a recipe for disaster. You might want to consider using MagVent connectors instead; they offer a much better solution for your dryer. Trust me, it's worth it!
I'd be careful with that arrangement. It's not ideal at all! I recommend shortening the rigid duct by a few feet, making it so the flexible section only needs to make one 90-degree turn. This will help reduce airflow issues. Check out this sketch I made for a better idea!
What kind of issues should I be worried about? Just trying to make sure I'm safe here.
Totally agree with you! Following your advice could really prevent problems down the line.
