I find the handlebar hinge clamp a bit fiddly to access with the basket bag attached. When I reach in to unscrew it my thumb naturally wants to go on the short end which is awkward to unscrew. It would be easier if the longer end were oriented 180° from it's current position. I attempted to just pop the bolt out and just flip the hex bolt but it appears to possibly be press fit. I didn't want to try to force it. Is there any easy way to do this?

You could try submerging the handle and bolt in warm water to soften the plastic.
Make sure to grease the threads afterwards when reinstalling it.
It is just a press fit. Doesn’t take much to tap the handle off the bolt head. Rotate and then reinstall by just tightening it up until the head is seated.
Don’t overthink it.
