I can still salvage this situation. I will be able to mount them in 45 degree orientation; that's no problem.

One more thing, does the distance between the wheels have to be square, or rectangle will be fine?
Mounting three in a triangular shape at 45 degrees to each other could also allow it to move sideways I think, but that could make it unstable depending on your design. I think rectangle should be fine as long as the distances are equal(front to back on both sides and front(or rear) left to front(or rear) right.
