[Elecraft] Pico Paddle MK-KX3 and Nifty Stand

I have been looking at photos of the Palm MK-KX3 adapter, which allows a Pico Paddle to be fixed directly to the existing KX3.  What I cannot tell from the photos, which all show the KX3 flat or on its short rear legs, and have not seen in any discussion, is whether the Pico and MX-KX3 combination is compatible with having the KX3 on a Nifty stand.   It looks as if the total length would put the paddle end further than the bottom edge of the stand, and if the Pico were canted to the side, the vertical axis of the paddles themselves would be at a very strange angle.  If the MK-KX3 bracket were hinged where it makes a 90 degree bend, it would work OK but it looks as if that is just a rigid bend.

Does anyone know?  Can the Pico with MK-KX3 work with a KX3 on a Nifty stand?

Thanks,
