Wink Phalaenopsis by window - new spike growing into curtain

Hi all... Haven't been on in awhile. It's good to be back

Okay, I have a phal setup close as possible to a curtain covering a window, as I have found it to be at a perfect light level, with a light meter and by observing its growth.

The plant has put out a new spike, and it is growing into the curtain. I'd rather not flip the plant around, mainly because I would lose a lot of the level of light exposure from the position of the leaves.

Will the new spike bloom ok against the curtain, correcting itself, or will I have to "train" (not sure of the terminology) it somehow, that is, condition it to grow another direction? If I must do so, as I have never tried it, could someone correct my terminology, and either suggest a thread or offer a guideline for how to do it? Thanks in advance...
