Can you stack your components outside of the car, even roughly, and take a picture so we can maybe see the issue more clearly?
The reason that I suggested the right angle plug is that I thought that you might be able to orient the right angle jacks so that the "U" bend in the cable would be flat against the back of the components rather than perpendicular to the back....but I can imagine that the particular vertical grouping you have screws that idea!
Could it be that a combination of right-angle and straight jacks would work?
Shallowest straight RCA I have seen is a Switchcraft 3502, only available in nickel, though:

That shows the total depth as about 15/16" from the "front" of the ground sleeve to the "back" of the housing. I'm sitting here playing with a piece of Mogami starquad, and I'd guess that you need another 3/4" on top of that to avoid kinking the cable. Do you have 2" clearance from the back of the components to the obstruction?
Thinking about strain relief, though....again, not being able to see your installation first-hand.....it's not as if these cables are going to be moved a lot, so maybe that isn't such a big concern.
I would solder some up for you with whatever components would work best if you don't find an off-the-shelf solution if you don't have the time or tools.
