With the right equipment and skills, you can swap out the connectors, but my eyes are too old and my skills too rusty to even try now Even though there are specified standards, it seems that there's some variation in all coax connectors, so short of testing all of them (or @viofo telling us where he buys his) it's "try and see". Usually they will all work together with each other.
On the impedance of the connectors, that's usually very close, and being so short when considering the whole run length, you can forget about that for such as this application.
It's possible that someone makes a 90 degree MMCX adapter you could plug in, but it will be costly as these are quite hard to make, moreso with the smaller sizes like we have here. If you really just have to have a 90 degree plug, you're probably better off buying one and putting it on the cable, as every connection adds some resistance which might degrade the signal, and it adds a potential failure point.
This small cable is great, just needs to be handled a bit differently.
