Adding the 129W (Echostar5) to my rail ...

I want to add EchoStar5 to my T90 rail I presently have the following setup and working perfectly - for over two years.

91W - 97W - 110W - 119W

I thought that I could just add another bracket & LNB (circular) to the rail and tune/peak with my BirdDog but can't seem to "FOUND" it ?? I read on another site that the 129W has a 10degree elevation difference from my other SATs... is that true? and would I have to modify or custom make a bracket to adjust for the 10 degrees?

129 is not 10 degrees higher in elevation than other sats. I think I remember reading you need reverse circular lnbf's for a T series dish.
