CORRECTION:

the protein does not need to be "aligned along the bilayer normal", it just
needs to be inserted into the membrane, and its orientation in the protein
is determined by the angle between the bilayer normal and the axis of one of
its helices (the angle is 30 degrees)

Sorry if this was not clear the first time
