Off-label use case, looking for a nontraditional attachment

I use a Packout system to haul all of the camera + power gear I need to stream my sons’ baseball games. It’s a pretty advanced setup as these things go, with multiple cameras, tripods, routers, and a Starlink system to provide the internet access. It can all fit in the attached, along with my cooler I bring.

My issue is that one of tripods I use is pretty heavy-duty, and although I did find a third party tripod holder on Etsy that can fit another tripod I have, it won’t fit this one (and it needs to be this one, to deal with heavy winds that I sometimes run into). I can still attach it to my stack if I use a couple of bungee cords and thread those through the rolling box handle, but the tripod needs to be flat against the handle for that to work well.

My issue is that the stack gives me an uneven surface at the top level, due to the cooler. Moreover, if I just bring another small toolbox to even it out, it’s now taller than the handle, so I can’t brace the tripod against the handle.

What I want is a way to mount the cooler facing perpendicular to how it defaults. That way, I could snap it in that direction at the front of the stack, leaving enough room next to the handle to put the tripod. Is there an attachment you know of that allows me to rotate the alignment by 90 degrees?
