Default Tangled carabiners

Hi All what do you guys do when your carabiners get all tangled on the harness i.e 2 lanyards attached to the one d ring and also when they sit at an awkward angle on the d ring due to the carabiner and hole in the micro grab being in line and facing in the same direction with the attachment biner forcing it to sit out of alignment,what options are there for having it so it aligns with the direction of pull, Buckingham make a similar grab called a buckgrab which has the attachment hole at 90 degrees to the d ring which would allow it to sit much nicer, would a swivel be the answer or what other options would there be ,thanks for your replies
cheers

does your harness have a rope bridge? cant you clip the carabiner direct to the bridge?

Hi I have a Buckingham traverse It has sliding Ds on a 2 inch wide webbing bridge which will center on my body under load so no good for lanyard attachments ,the lanyards are attached to each side of my harness.
cheers
