Best flash bracket for macro photography?

I can't seem to find a flash bracket that swings the flash forward in front of the lens.  Can you help me out please and recommend one?  Thank you.

Have you looked at custom flash brackets or pro media boomerang?

Custom Brackets or the Boomerang as mentioned already.

Boomerang is pricey but versatile. Newest model is the BBGv2 Flash Bracket. My niche is macro & I use ring/point lights or softbox on a speedlight, not on a bracket though......

Custom Brackets will tilt forward over the lens, which is what you are going to be after here.
