2-3 degrees of up-thrust should do it. Many seaplanes that have podded engines mounted above the wing have about that and a sailplane power pod is really no different. Little side thrust will be needed - less than 1 degree probably. Even that much might be overdoing it as the rotational mass of a peewee 020 and propeller is just so low compared to the rest of the airplane.
Thrust angles matter less when the throttle setting doesn't vary as any unwanted pitching can be trimmed out for good, but that then affects glide trim.
