Custom SFF case issue

The Blue Cryptid

I'm currently in the concept phase of making a sff pc in a old fat ps2 and most things are going smoothly, however I've come to realize that the motherboard needs to be oriented in a specific location to work and this location leaves little height clearance above the RAM and mobo power connectors. I think the RAM will be fine because the dummy board I'm using for scale is a bit older and has the ram slots closer to the side due to the power connectors having their own side, but that means now that I'm going to have trouble fitting the power cable in there. Any suggestions?

 

Just here for some fun.

You can get 90 degree 24pin adaptor which could help. And I believe there 90 degree 8pin eps cables too.

The 8 pin will actually be a perfect one, but the 24 is a bit more of a challenge. It'll basically be blocked from both sides by the ram and the case and being blocked by the case above it.
