Just get upside down LEDS.
1206 upside down chipled: APTR3216ZGC

both of these require holes / bodge wires since the plastic package extends beyond the pads. that's not ideal!

search for "reverse gullwing SMD LED" and you find all kinds of results from Osram, Vishay, and LG.

I think that £0.17 in quantities of 100 isn't too bad at all!
