It's actually pointing outwards more, so nope, they are trying to blow the diffuser even more.
Somebody else said the sidepod undercut was not as deep.. I think it is even more deeper both at the front and back. The parting line of the panels only gave an illusion that the old sidepod was more undercut at the front.
If you're using the exhaust to boost the strength of a vortex, then the actual exhaust aim should not blow directly into the area where you want greatest effect, but at the direct periphery, it's the walls of the vortex that cause the greatest pressure differential.
