That would be quite a job.
First the toilet tank will dictate how much you can turn the toilet (not much as I can see).
You have the wrong type (elongated) vs round toilet. Round are used in smaller ...

How can I prevent the flush arm in my toilet tank from getting under the flap?
The arm shouldn't drop that low. I suspect that a part is broken. You can fix this a few ways:

Toilet tank level rises slowly
Refill valve appears to work normally

Do I need to remediate the existing drain waste vent system in my bathroom?

It is not unusual for the holes under the rim to be non uniform.

My toilet has a weak flush
Take a bucket and fill it with around a gallon and 1/2 of water.
Pour it quickly into the toilet bowl.

Plumbing Toilet Jet Rims, One Hole bigger than others?
Does the hole look like it's chipped, or does the glazing smoothly cover it?
