Extension to shift 1/4" mount forward?

Question

I have a 3d printed attachment for my lenses which is heavy enough to make my small tripod not balance. I would like to shift the 1/4" threaded connection forward about 2 inches. Is there a product that does this? I can't seem to find one.

It's called a cheese plate; like this one from SmallRig.

You would use a 1/4-20 screw through one of the 3/8 holes into the current socket on the body; and then use any of the 1/4-20 holes in the cheese plate to mount to.

If by "forward" you mean away from the photographer and towards the subject, you could use a tripod mount ring, also called a tripod collar:

You could either use a tripod collar around the lens, or a rail like a off-camera flash bracket rail or a cheap macro sled with a tripod mount.
