Can my carb be tilted and still operate ? ?

mine is at a like 25-30 degree forward tilt and it works fine

Excessive tilt can lead to max RPM @ wide open throttle starvation issues - the bowl will run dry as it's usable volume is reduced when it's at an angle. Oddly, some setups seem more forgiving than others & honestly I can't explain that... it could be that the engine itself simply isn't reaching it's full potential for other reasons *shrug*

So, generally speaking it's best to run the carby as level as possible. On one of my previous builds this required cutting a slot in the manifold and bending it a touch more, then rewelding it - much like they did at the factory to get the original "bend". It would ofc be better to make a custom intake without that restrictive cut/bend style, to have a smooth curve... but it's an easy fix anyway

No, it it can't be tilted and when you ride, it must be on straight and level roads. No hills or turns which could affect the forward/aft and lateral tilt of the carb
