I can't believe no one has caught the obvious: Your "custom bracket" was not designed for 35mm gear (or was just poorly designed). I have a stroboframe Pro-T bracket that flips the flash so that it stays above the camera for both vertical and horizontal shots. It ALSO maintains proper orientation between the flash and camera, so the long axis of the flash coverage always corresponds to the long axis of the film frame.

If you still can, return that bracket and find one that works properly. Otherwise, sell it on ebay, or buy new flash gear. Bob Meyer I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Plan great trips with Yahoo!
