Im getting ready to run the drain for my basement bathroom but I'm concerned that I have too many turns in the tub drain. I had to start in the wrong direction in order to pick up a wall for a vent. Is this a problem, does it meet code? A second set of eyes on this would really be appreciated.

Which code? There are many! Under an old UPC rule, a trap arm less than 3" cannot have more than 90 degrees of direction
change without a c/o. Larger ones can do up to 135 degrees. The code that prevails in your location might be more liberal.
Code-compliant or not, it may not be a "problem".
