I had trouble finding one for my Greenbean build so I just got the non right angle pronged version from Tayda then wired that to the pcb.
It's a bit of extra hassle but it works fine and still looks neat.

If you do this, I'd recommend wrapping the wire around the prongs of the pot for a couple of winds then putting a little extra solder plus some heat shrink over it so that when you solder the other end of the wires to the pcb, the heat that transfers through the wire wont undo the connection to the pots
