If the existing board isn't square enough to fit when rotated, then I would cut a new piece using the existing board as a template (just rotate the board 90 degress when tracing the hole).

that's what I would do.
I would bet you will have to extend the horizontal sides some.
I have never did this.
the only thing close was a monitor pointing at a mirror.
I removed monitor and mirror and made it vertical
