So your rear hose coming through the down tube can only go to one side?

First time building, haven't ridden yet. I have no idea how much force it would take to really affect driving without hands.

I think I got it pretty ok after some twisting. Now has a small amount of spiral going into the down tube.

Try more or less hose (is it pulling back or pushing ?).. try to route on the other side of the fork. That's not intended. My fully internal bikes have free motion.. when i tilt the bike the handlebar moves freely to left and right

Quoting Taylor Swift, i would say shake it off, shake it off. Unless you've cut it way short or way long, things should settle down once you've turned the bars a few times, ridden it once, shaken it a bit and so on.
Do pay attention to hose bends. If 2 hoses, route one on each side of the steerer, for eg, because it makes more sense.
And depending on the shifters, there's probably a better / worse hose position left / right. Don't cross hoses inside the bars, for eg.
If you pay attention to that, you should have a bike that tracks straight.
