Get an old Weaver ring and grind off the excess and throw the top steel part away.
I used a piece of 1/16" thick Kydex, but any plastic will do.
Put the ring base in a location that will clear everything and be easy to get to the thumbscrew on the offside.
Cut the plastic to fit, and screw it to the base, I used the stock Weaver screws, the angle of the base screw location holds the plastic at the correct angle.
I have a brass catcher, but it is a pain. This piles it in a neat little pile right beside the rifle.
They sell these premade for AR15's, but they have never worked very well for me, and the attachment screw never fits with my scope ring location. The premade ones don't work well on the large platform AR's, as they are too high.
Excuse the spots all over the gun, I haven't cleaned the mud off it from my last match!
Only downside I can tell is you will either need to trim your gun case foam to fit, or I just remove it before I put it in.
Offside where you remove it with the thumbscrew.....
