I did something similar last year. The cage I bought for my Sony FX3 has an Arca Swiss bottom rail which of course runs at 90 degrees to the usual Arca Swiss mount receiver. I bought one of these generic receivers and fitted it side ways to the Manfrotto plate with the tightening screw facing out under the screen on the camera. Works a treat.

Nice! Seems most cages these days have gone for the integrated plate design. Glad it worked out for you!
Sirui is also great!
That's great! I'm not sure if you able to post a link in the comments, but please feel free to drop a model number if it worked well for you.
