Does anybody have any suggestions for an Arca compatible quick release plate for a CLE? The tripod socket on the CLE is way to one side, so the QR plate sticks out, making holding the camera uncomfortable.

One option is to use a GMP M-Grip. It will mount to the CLE (and others, I have it on a Canon rangefinder) and then use its center tripod socket for a QR plate. The grip itself is removable via two hex screws.
The downside is you'll have to remove the QR plate and the grip plate in order to rewind film.
I've "standardized" on Acratech's 2162 QR plate. It has 3 mounting slots allowing my choice of best fit. Also, if positioned just right on the CLE, the plate both keeps the battery cover in place and allows access to the rewind button.

Here's a picture of the grip.
You can see the two hex screws attaching the finger grip to the grip's plate and just make out the tripod socket under the lens.
