Changing Axis of Bridging Curves

I've been trying to model an organic shape using curves and the Fill tool. Right now I have some Projected Curves that I need to add some Bridging Curves to, but I need to add a slight bend to it for a smoother appearance. The Bridging Curve seems to be the only tool that allows me to set where the curve originates from along the Projected Curve. The problem is however, it only goes along with the shape of the projected curve. I want to bend it outwards towards the X axis. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bridging curve compared to the base of my model. I'm trying to roughly match the curvature, which goes out towards the X axis. The Bridging Curve only allows for me to adjust it on the Z axis of the Projected Curve it's attached to. Top View ^

Rendered, to show the shading and curvature of it. Smooth and curvy for the sake of aesthetics and aerodynamics. Exact shape of the back and front end aren't exact, onshape model is slightly improved.

You could create a helper surface or sketch to use as a tangent reference.

I like the idea of using a sketch for a tangent reference. How would I go about that? I like to think I'm pretty good at googling but couldn't find anything like it online.

Not sure if my pictures are uploading, but I've remodelled it because the curve analysis showed these curves were going absolutely crazy. Should help me in the future with turning these into surfaces.
