As a last resort maybe change the switch for one that has line in at the top, like this Lewden fused switch for example
I also thought that and I like the idea but you can't terminate into the side of those so it might not work for OP.
Also the load L connects top left, but it's probably long enough.
Are the earth terminals 32mm on these?

Exactly! But for the grace of God go I...

Recently I realised I had punched out the top hole on a rotary isolator's case. Thankfully I found I could just remove the switch mechanism and turn it over. But it still annoys me one is in right and the other is almost the same but not quite :(
