The tub drain hole is where it should be in the picture but the only way to get it to that position is to use a loop. I don't think that's the right way. Do you have any other solutions is the solution in the picture ok?

what am i looking at? that is not a sideways trap is it? which pipe is the tub which is the drain?
315 degree offset. he he he he..no, man...
dig up that trap, cut it loose, replace it with another trap that is swung over to line up with your pipe.
you really do not want to offset a pipe to go into the trap, its trouble down the road

Whoever installed the previous drain didn't install a trap. Here's the current configuration. Hope this picture is a little better
Get rid of all of that. Personally, I would chip back a little bit further and see if you can get to some pipe on the other side of that fitting, and attach to that.
Also your trap arm appears to be lower then the galvanized drain. Have that checked out
My code says we can't have more than 135 degrees of change in direction before we hit a vent. Not sure where you're at but you are already over that
