Problem with steering UJ orientation and phasing using DD bar. Is there a fitting?

Problem with UJ orientation and phasing of the joints. Recently acquired 24 Ford T bucket. Has a reversed corvair steering box with a splined connection and a DD connection for the steering wheel shaft. Cannot get the phasing correct with the UJ’s I have. Using DD bar to connect the 2 UJ’s. How can I fix this? Is there a DD fitting that flips the orientation so they line up? Current set up is creating pushing force into the steering box as the shaft turns. See photo.

Add a support bearing if you have room to keep the section away from your steering box. I don't think you can put in too many, especially if you use a double u joint.
