Is it okay to do dips on a 90 degree corner?

Hi there, a little background - I have been doing dips training for over 6 months using an app called 100 Dips which builds up your reps over time.
So recently I have been staying at a camp for work with no dip bars meaning I have been doing my reps on a 90 degree corner of handrail in front of my room. Besides the flat bar hurting my hands a little I have noticed that I tire quicker than when using parallel bars.
My question is, would the inward facing 90 degree angle I have my hands on do more harm than good to elbow joints etc in your opinion or is it just harder because I am focusing on different muscles?

The angle is not going to increase your chance of injury or anything like that. It's just a more difficult way of doing them. If you did them on a single bar, they would be even more difficult. You're good
