Connections can't overlap

I took my first steps in KiCad and ran into a problem:

I’m using a XT30 connector in my design, which has a footprint already available, but there is no component. So I created one by copying that connector Generic connector, single row, 01x02, script generated (kicad-library-utils/schlib/autogen/connector/) to my own lib and adding the preexisting footprint.
When using that component in my schematic and trying to connect everything, KiCad does not allow me to make certain crossings. The yellow part gets deleted and the green connection point gets added instead. This resulst in a short.
NOw the question: What did I do wrong?

Vertical wires cross the symbol pin ends. KiCad add connections in those places (which is reasonable because a wire shouldn’t touch the connection point of a pin without connecting to it).

Move the symbols one step up and add short vertical wires before turning to horizontal.

Thanks for the quick and easy solve!
