You can't put the that valve cover on the drivers side?

That would seem easier than drilling and taping it.

How often are you filling oil? Not necessarily bad to have the oil fill in an inconvenient spot considering how infrequently oil is added...unless you have other problems.

Pour oil into the driver side head then put the cover on afterward.

I would just swap them from one side to another. I have LS9 covers and with the taller aftermarket heads I just barely have enough room to get the oil cap off. Problem is that there just isn’t much real estate in that area once you have a Large frame T6 in there.
