Angle curved text towards a central point

Hello everyone. I’ve tried searching for this here and google and I’m either not using the right terms or it’s just not there to find.

I have a string of text on a curve extruded out to 5mm. What im trying to do is angle the top of that text towards the center of the circle path by about 15-20 degrees. Ive tried rotating before and after applying it to the curve path, and a simple deform. I can’t seem to get it to work. Any advice?
