Default Wed wheel tpms issues?

So just got a set of weds, they came with fancy 90 degree valves stems. My tire shop showed me how the tpms won't be mountable due to the hole location on the wheel. What has everyone else done? They have a solution and it's a 90 degree adapter but the valve stem is now hidden behind the wheel face. It isn't too hard to reach it for airing up etc but the factory hole is present still. Help please.

You need to use that 90degree valve stem and TPMS belt to mount it.
Another option you have is using same valve stem that tire shop offer but in 90degree version

Isn't that belt for an entirely different kind of tpms sensor? How does a tpms sensor with a valve stem mount to that band?

Man.... I need these like yesterday. Didn't know I needed these until I went to have my TPMS put in my new wheels. What brand are these and will they work with any wheel?

I have a set of Weds Kranze LXZ's and I used the 90 degree stem like the one in your last picture paired with the TPMS brackets from iForged for $35. Worked well on mine.
