moving a range hood by a few inches

I'm considering moving the placement of my range hood by 3 inches when I replace the cabinets. My current hood vents straight up and out through the roof. Can a small move like this be done with an angled duct connector or a flexible piece? Yes, I know that sort of thing reduces the effectiveness of the ventilation, but I'm guessing it would be considerably cheaper and easier (we're mostly-DIYers) than creating a whole new path out to the roof. I'm not certain what kind of ducting is present now because it's enclosed in a wood surround - not sure if that matters.

I've been searching for info on this for a while and coming up empty, but I'm hoping that some of you have dealt with this sort of thing before.
