I had the exact problem. I moved my dryer, removed all the old piping, and with a bit of puzzling redid the piping straight up and out. I didn't use any of that flex pipe because a lot of lint / fluff / crap gets caught up in all those folds which seemed to me to be a bit of a fire hazard (the existing piping had a length of it and when I took it out, it was nearly plugged). The hard piping is not that hard to do, kind of like Lego with a screw-gun.
Good Luck!
