Hello experts!

I ran some 6AWG wiring from my electrical service panel for a 240V outlet in my garage. The builder had provided an empty junction box with a conduit to the panel. So, all I did was fish the 4 wires and added a 50A breaker for the NEMA 14-50 outlet. See the attached picture.

My question is about the wiring in the panel. I ran my neutral across the breaker to the neutral bar on the other side. Does this look OK, or, do I need to use a longer white wire than runs around the inside of the panel box to the neutral bar?

That is so ugly, you need to run the wire up the sides not across the breakers.
