No.. turning the camera will not solve the problem.
However, one step towards positively identifying the source of the flaring is this;
Set the telescope up with the camera attached and in focus, point the telescope towards the horizon, walk away from the telescope in the same direction it is pointing, when you get 20 feet away from it, turn around and look at your primary mirror. Move your head side to side, up and down. Is there an orientation where the focuser tube extends in to the light path of the primary mirror?
