[SOLVED] Is there an L-form (90 deg) adapter for the USB 3.1 Gen 2 FP connector?

On my Maximus XI Hero mobo I have a said front panel connector, number 10 on the board layout (U31G2_2), it looks like that

and is located near the right edge of the board. I use it to power the front USB-C port on my Strix Helios case. The problem is that the cable is immediately routed to the right and it would look much better if the connector was actually showing towards the right side. I searched all over the Internet for an L-form adapter that would allow it, but to no avail. Does something like that even exist? Thanks.

I haven't seen any extensions, yet...
The only cable I've seen that was a 90degree from the board was a Lian-Li addon cable that ran from the header to a type=C port.

Can't find a link for the Lian-Li option either, but there's a clear clone on Alibaba.

Unless the Helios happened to use the same type mounting for the port up front, then there's nothing in the market currently.
