Some notes: If you replace the 24230 near the gap with 24215+24207 then the angle should nearly match; use 24115+24107 instead of the 24130; small gaps on the CAD usually do not matter as the tracks have some elasticity Otherwise, to get a full 90° turn add 24206 pieces at the turnout and crossover on top; then you can also add 24206 to each other turnout/crossover and fill the gap with a 24230 to get to full 90°

The important bits are the angles. Tim
