Flush wall plug for power cables?

I just had a new custom audio cabinet built. However the new cabinet is longer and covers the dedicated wall outlet for my system. When i plug the stiff power cords in the outlet I cannot shove the cabinet close enough to the wall for my liking. I could plug the cables into a power strip inside the cabinet but I’d like to use the dedicated outlet for my amp and dac, if it makes a difference? I don’t know for sure.
My question is, is there a company that makes a decent power cord with a flush angled wall plug? I’ve searched and cannot find any.
Thanks

Well, not sure which end, but you could use the Wattgate adapter here:

and point the plug in either direction.

You can use an IEC adapter to point your equipment's socket in any desired direction:

I also find these little adapters golden, especially when using wall warts in tight spaces:

I use the Voodoo cable and other right angle adapters.
I spoke to Audioquest, and they said using them shouldn't make any difference as it is metal to metal.

Thanks for all the great recommendations:
I took off my outlet plate and the outlet. I cannot remove the current outlet box to install the recessed box so there is not enough room unless I want to perform a lot of sheetrock work.
I think what I’ll do is buy some flush angled connectors and replace the current ones with these on my cables. Sounds easy enough, but I’ve said that before.
Maybe if I call some cable company’s, like Voodoo, they will custom make me a cable with the flush plug.

If you want to do your own ends for tight clearance.
