Have you thought of taping the wires down with gaffer's tape?
Yes, it's the universal on-location fix-it material. The shutter release
cable release that runs from bracket handle to camera shutter button, and
camera to flash cable must be able to flex and reposition themselves when
the camera is rotated. They're the two that get tangled together when
rotating the camera.
Still working on various routing arrangements that might be used with the
TTL Auto Connector 4 and the 0.3m straight TTL cord or the 0.6m coiled TTL
cord. Using the Shoe 4 and puting the Sunpak or Metz TTL module in the
shoe works fine. The modules keep the shutter release cable in place over
the top of the camera body. Every so often I pull out the cables, TTL Auto
Connector 4 and try yet another scheme. I feel Edison's pain in trying to
find a suitable light bulb filament. Some day I'll work it out a reliable
arrangement.
