I am trying to install track lighting in place of fluorescent lighting that was originally there. There is a ceiling box, however it is turned 90 degrees from where I need it to be. If I installed the lighting as is, the track would be going in the wrong direction. I tried using an all-purpose crossbar, but the holes on it do not seem to line up with both the electrical box in the ceiling and the plate from the track lighting at the same time.

Your help is appreciated!
