Seoi nage from left handed lapel grip as a right handed player

Hi - hopefully I can make this question make sense.

Recently I've been working on a right sided seoi nage from a left handed stance (left foot forward, my left hand on their right lapel).

The problem is that I'm right handed and all my other judo is right sided, my other common throws being kouchi/kosoto/okuri-ashi-barai.

I've seen a lot of advice here that you shouldn't switch stance mid fight as it's a good way to get swept. How should I go about reconciling this? Do I just have to switch to working a cross grip/ morote seoi nage? Or perhaps try to work a left sided seoi nage using my right sided grip on the lapel instead?

Would be curious to hear some options. Cheers!
