Default Looking for fitting for driver side valve cover

Anyone know where to get a elbow that has a 3/8 nipple and that will push in the rubber grommet for the driver side valve cover? I removed the plug but local parts stores only have 5/8 and I want to avoid stepping it down with more fittings. I can't find anything online other than a straight piece that I would have to add a elbow to.

I've decided to drill a hole in the plug. Stick a rubber grommet in it and then insert a 3/8" 90* on it. If that don't work then I'll just pull the vapors from the valley cover only and call it a day.

Didn't have to drill. Removed the plug and installed a 5/8" 90* then reduced it to 3/8 right before catch can. Only place I could find to install the dual set up. I kept the ECS catch can to help make sure I get no blow by in the IC or Blower. Still using the filter on the oil cap but I hate the damn thing to I'll probably get a 90* fitting and install a small cone filter on the PS valve cover port.

Valley cover -> ECS catch can -> (1) RX Catch can -> Pre Blower connected to Filter
DS valve cover -> (1) Rx catch can -> IM
