Where the pipe has been cut off you need a socket to re join the pipe.. the two elbows are assumingly to turn the direction towards the septic tank and then to turn the pipe flow downwards into the new tank.. With a length of the correct diameter sewer pipe cut to length it is very easy.. Glue the socket onto the cut off pipe or as an option use the elbow instead.. Glue it on the pipe first then glue it to the under floor pipe.. Then cut it to the correct length when you have it over the top of the tank pipe… If you have problems lining the new pipe up you can also use 45 degree fittings.. It really is easy once you get going.. Just make sure that there is "fall" going towards the tank.. Often it is illegal for a non registered plumber or drain layer to install this system..It might pay to check.

Not sure what your question is but if your using elbows…..like 90’s, use the sweep type not the ones that turn hard. Hard to explain, " ( not L " Ask at your plumbing supply store. They will set you up.
