Looks like you're golden! It's hard to beat super comfortable. Just be sure your anchors are centered on sound studs and Rock on! Maybe try a pair of porch-swing springs for shock absorbers. They're pretty stiff, not bouncy, but they will "soften" the stress on the walls when you get in and out or shift around. I got mine at Lowes a few years ago; about $8 or $9 for a pair then, near the chain and Quick Links etc.
I'd like to try those adjustable anchors. Where did you get them? I recall seeing them somewhere in hammockforums a long time ago but a quick search hasn't found them -- probably right in front of my nose. ( I hope the white hammock is only stored on the curtain rod and not "anchored" on it!)
If you're comfortable at the angle you've set up, don't worry too much if it's 30 degrees; it's a rule of thumb that works well for most people (and maybe is optimal for minimal stress on trees/suspension/wall studs???), but sometimes it's just not achievable in a given space or even optimally comfortable for wider hammies, so whatever works for you is good. Maybe look at the calculator:
http://theultimatehang.com/hammock-hang-calculator/ if you want help adjusting anchor height & suspension length for a given anchor (or tree) distance, ridgeline length (I believe the calculator assumes RL is 83% of hammock length), & preferred sit height. I prefer to hang mine a little looser, somewhere between 30 and 45* for ease getting out because my wide hammocks will entrap me with high, tight sides if not hung loose.
At the end of the day, sometimes you just have to go with the space you have. One of my hammocks is a 14 ft(!) Brazilian that hangs wall-to-wall across an upstairs loft with sloped walls. It's too long for anywhere in my small house except over the stairwell (NOT). I could tie a knot just below the clews at each end to shorten it, but instead I just hang it low on those sloped loft walls to get the max distance possible and 16-17" sit height. The calculator says it can't be done in that distance, but whatever angle it ended up, it's quite comfortable and one of my favorite sleepers!
Best wishes for many great nights with your new indoor hammock setup! It may take a week or two getting used to it "all-night, every-night", and you may need to tweak it a little if you notice any problems, but it looks like you're definitely on track for the win.
(If there was a medal for Best Sleeper, hammockers surely would be the strongest contenders, right up there with babies and kittens.)
