Question Adapter to reverse SATA power plug?

I recently purchased a converter kit for my 5.25'' drive bay that allows me to store 2 2.5'' hard drives and a 3.5'' hard drive. Unfortunately, due to the way the drives are oriented when they are all hooked in, it's not possible for me to plug in power cables for the 2.5'' hard drives because there's physically not enough room for the power cables to clear the 3.5'' drive.

I think it would work if I was able to plug in some type of adapter that reverses the orientation of the power plug on the hard drive - that would cause the cable to flow up, rather than bump into the 3.5'' drive. Does anyone know if such a device exists? Or perhaps there's another way to jury rig this?

Thanks!
