Flush wall plug for power cables?

I just had a new custom audio cabinet built. However the new cabinet is longer and covers the dedicated wall outlet for my system. When i plug the stiff power cords in the outlet I cannot shove the cabinet close enough to the wall for my liking. I could plug the cables into a power strip inside the cabinet but I’d like to use the dedicated outlet for my amp and dac, if it makes a difference? I don’t know for sure.
My question is, is there a company that makes a decent power cord with a flush angled wall plug? I’ve searched and cannot find any.
Thanks

Thank you noramnce. It’s definitely an option. The only concern is the right angle iec plug. My dac has a sideways iec so the cord would be pointing down. If the cord is flexible enough it may not be an issue. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks Elliot. Great idea. I remember seeing these years ago in an office building I worked in. I completely forgot about them. I’ll have to look and see how much room I have inside the wall for it to fit. It may do the trick.

Thanks for all the great recommendations:
I took off my outlet plate and the outlet. I cannot remove the current outlet box to install the recessed box so there is not enough room unless I want to perform a lot of sheetrock work.
I think what I’ll do is buy some flush angled connectors and replace the current ones with these on my cables. Sounds easy enough, but I’ve said that before.
Maybe if I call some cable company’s, like Voodoo, they will custom make me a cable with the flush plug.

Thank you bry. Actually my friend, unbeknownst to me has made his own cables and offered to help me out. So we’ll tackle this next weekend. He says it shouldn’t take long.However, I did buy one of the adapters from Voodoo recommended by two left ears.
