Have a look at enoch's fine work here http://www.deepfolly.co.uk/2.html
he turned the plate round. I don't believe there is an exact angle to turn it, just turn it round as per his pics to give a little more clearance.

Caliper is directly in line with top mount for shocker if made as per book for disc setup. 30 deg ish offset from vertical is some where near but may be better to trial fit before welding
