Thank You Bill.
Your pictures/post have helped me refine my question. I would like to keep my ball head pointed straight up, as in your top picture. I would like an L-Bracket attached to the ball head along the short end of the L-Bracket. i.e. the camera would be mounted in portrait position. I believe I need the flash bracket attached between the L-Bracket and the ball head. Is that possible? Is there a special Arca plate that allows the plates to stack? (I want to avoid placing my camera to the side of the ball head, as in your bottom picture.)

All you have to do is leave the flash bracket in the landscape configuration (1st pic) and put the camera in portrait position with the short side of the L bracket. This will leave the flash over the lens and the camera will still be on the tripod with the ball head straight up. The bracket attaches to the ball head via an Arca Swiss plate that screws into the base of the bracket just like any quick release tripod plate. The camera is then attached to the bracket with an Arca Swiss clamp that is built into the bracket if you get the SA model. Let me get set back up and I'll snap you another pic.

You put an Arca Swiss plate on the bracket (arrow on the right). This will get the bracket attached to the ball head. The bracket has an Arca Swiss clamp so you just attach your camera L bracket in that clamp. Arrow on the left.

Hope this helps.
