I have a water pipe in the wall. The old faucet had a bad connection so I
un-screwed it and put screwed a new one in place. Unfortunately the new faucet is
pointing nine o'clock when it should point downwards ie six o'clock.

I carefully chiseled about 45 degrees of the top groove off but it still points
nine o'clock! I kept chiseling a bit by bit whith same results which I find next
to impossible,

How do I get it point where I want??

Bad choice of words. With "chiseling" I mean I used a sharpening tool.
