I am replacing an old contractor system that is fed by a GE ak-125 low V switchgear. The wire to the contractor is 750kcm, with the short distance between the contractor and the gear it is near impossible to make the wire work so I had a couple ideas but I am having difficulty getting parts locally

Idea 1 replace 750 with 2-350
Problem need 5/8 lug hole connectors 2 straight 2 with right angle due to breaker lug being parallel with ground.
Can't find locally right angle connector or lugs with 5/8
Hole to match gear

Idea 2 use straight lugs all 4 need to purchase flexible 350 most places in region just carry thhn
Can you suggest a cable type to use and manufacture
Can you suggest a vendor for these lugs, I have not had much luck with my web searches
Hoping to lean on someone's experience

Not sure I understand, do you want to stack two lugs to replace the single lug you have now for the 750's? Can you use something like this?

I wanted the woe to point downward when finished the lug on the low voltage switchgear is horizontal
