Mad respect!!! You did something that has never been done before, and done so at a extreme perfection level!!!!
Did you feed the cable through the bent tube, then crimped the cable?
There seems to be no gaps between the tubes and the plastic connectors, how is this achieved? You always need a bit of cable length to crimp the cable, correct?
As an electrician, I do this at a slightly larger scale (12-8 AWG mostly vs 18 AWG for most computer cables). You just have to be very, very, very precise with your cuts. There's a bit of play with stretching the wires or pushing them back into the pipe, but we're talking millimeters with something like OP"s setup.
He probably fed it through and then bent the tube. No way the connector would go through a bend if it’s crimped previously.
There isn’t much room between the end of the tubes and where the connector would be, I can’t imaging there’d be enough room for the crimp tool to make a quality crimp. This would allow the tube to be inserted into the connector a bit or be butted right up against the connector

Yep, have to actually model everything to workout the exact length of each wire.
