I think it would help a lot if you can show pictures (before and after baking) of your problem. I make tarts like that but never came across any problem similar to what you described.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. The only time I've seen a puff pastry rises 45° is in a turnover, where one side is folded so it couldn't rise along with the other sides.
