Mitigating rotational forces in 3d-printed parts in c-channel

I am designing a 3dprint to fill a c-channel and I am wondering if there is some type of geometry that I can add to prevent/mitigate the rotational forces in the part.

The core problem arises from the ratio of the channel flange and the 3d-printed part. Basically the flange is to small. But it is a constraint that I can't change. Any type of corrugation that I can add?

See the attached picture for a very rough sketch. Red is layer orientation, Yellow forces.

Creating custom models

I'm trying to create some simple custom models but I can't figure out a workflow. I am fluent in fusion 360 and Photoshop so I can generate models and an image that I want projected on those models. But how do I get the image correctly on the model? How do I define faces etc?

Is the only way out to learn blender? Thankful for any insights!
