This is a quote from the Smith/Creek 4 volume tome on the Me262, pg 66,

"By Feb 1940, the design of the P1065 had been modified to have the outer sections of its wings swept back some 18 degrees. Originally this was done to solve problems that heavier engine weight estimates were causing with the positioning of the aircraft's center of gravity. The BMW P.3304 turbojets were still proposed at this time."

The original P1065 design had straight wings and the engines were in the wings.
