Quick question for you all, but is the oil dip stick twisted near the end or should it be completely straight? Just checked it for the first time and I did not pay any attention to the orientation when I pulled it out. It was not an issue until I had some trouble putting it back in.
What direction should it be facing when reinserted?

I don't think it matters, just push it back in fully with a little bit of force. I believe the twist slightly widens the stick so it will fit the tube with a little bit of friction holding it in place. I have seen this in other vehicles. Perhaps someone else can confirm since I'm not entirely sure but... for what it's worth.
