Question Open Rocket... Creating standoff's for launch lugs?

I'm futzing around with Open Rocket for the first time, and I need to know how I can create standoff's for the LL's. The payload section has a greater diameter than the body of the rocket, and the launch rod would be hitting it. I can't figure out how to virtually "mount" the LL's and solve this problem.

Thanks!

Launching is Optional... Landing? That Depends on Trees.

Use a trapezoidal fin set of one to create the standoff. To get the launch lug itself about the right distance out I actually attached it to the payload tube, but used the position offset to put it in the right place.

Example attached....
