I finally found a USB-C cable that has a fairly short housing for where the cable becomes the connector. I plan to bend it 90 degrees and use some Sugru and the old iPod adapter that comes with the stand to hold the cable in the right position. Because I'm using the adapter and because that fits inside the stand's housing, the only way you'll be able to see the Sugru is when the phone is not on the stand and you look at it straight from above. It should work fine but I've not done it yet because I want the 6P here to help me ensure that I set the cable at the right angle.
