I would suggest that you model the 90-degree bend by drawing two reaches connected with a junction. The River would be the same, but the reach names would be different.

You should then select the Momentum computation mode and enter the angle of the bend. That way HEC-RAS can account for the energy loss as the water makes that sharp turn.
