All ball heads have some limitations on movement to portrait position. That’s why they make L-plates ... and to keep the camera centered over the legs for best stability. Some of my other heads have even larger motion issues.
Of course, you can always just rotate the camera and plate 180 degrees on the head if you need it to flop over the other way. The price with head is less than my usual Manfrotto 190 and its A-S head.
