2-Finger, Up-Picking Technique?

$

Working on Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down from the Rosenbaum book and it's in a 2-finger up-picking style which is new to me.

If I hold the banjo the way I do for clawhammer or 2-finger thumb lead, my index finger picks up at a 45 degree angle to the string but it seems like a 90% angle would give better tone. 

How's it usually done? If I  need to experiment with changing the angle, would that come from changing the way that I hold the banjo?
