Finally I figured out the easiest way to rotate the pan. The pan removal and re-install were eased by 1. Removing the driver engine mount, 2. Rotating the pan toward the driver mount location.

The job was a messy PITA but not too difficult.
Thanks for the extra input. The more we can get will help out any future "do it yourselfers".
The reason why I made this DIY was because there wasn't a proper one made.
