Is it acceptable to have plastic pipe going into the manifold at such angles as shown in photo?
There is definitely stress on the fittings as the pipe is pulling hard to one side on numerous connections.
The manifold does not leak under pressure test.
Should it be kept as is if it does not leak?
Or should it be redone so the pipes go in straight because maybe it will leak in the future as the fittings may fail due to continuous stress?

Not much that can be done now I would be more concerned about the wiring thats definitely not to regs . Kop
This is just an image I found on google. I do however have a very similar problem on my actual manifold of which I currently dont have a photo.

I know you say not much can be done however it can be solved by cutting the pipes and adding bends of 90 or 135 to make the entry pipes perfectly square and no stress on fittings. I am just trying to understand if there is any real risk of fittings leaking because they are under stress all the time?

The wiring on mine is fine as the whole house was rewired by an electrician, everything is new.
