That does look a bit wonky - sorry.
Here is what I did to brace a thicker but more expensive conveyor belt material.

After installing it we found no kickers were needed as it was very stiff from the curve ( as Euromodder said )
Once again pictures had to wait until dark.

Jason, do you have a larger image from the inside showing your lower 3/4" EMT conduit support?
It appears to just dangle, untied to any supporting structure above, and relies on the arc of the curve for deflection strength and deformation resistance.
Is that observation correct?
