slower acting pvc glue?

I'm replacing a valve and have to replace a bunch of piping around it and I have 4 joints connecting at the same time, and at least one has 2 90s that aren't exactly pointing in the same direction, they are at a slight angle from each other.

Was the last step today and it dried so fast that I didn't get the angle right and had to pull it all..

So wondering if there is a glue that will give me a tad more time (even if cure time is 24 hours), I need more than like 30 seconds 😄 Before I try again tomorrow.
