There's not really an easy way to do this and the information isn't really
being used quite the way you think: the distances calculated (there are no
angles in distance geometry, only distances) are used to set up distance
ranges that are provided to the embedding algorithm. So "deviation from
optimal" isn't really an applicable concept.

What are you trying to accomplish? There may be a better approach.
