Boris, Try finding some device that allows you to align the flash head with the front element of your macro lens, and a sync cable to fit your flash. There are both tailor made solutions like the flash brackets from ReallyRightStuff and DIY projects to a couple of dollars. I bought a hotshoe grip off ebay for a couple of dollars that did the trick after some modification. I've used it with the AF-500FTZ, and the AF-540FGZ. Drop me a (off-) line if you want to know about the mods.
