This is needed regardless of whether the DSLR is mounted on the rod or the board itself.

You could make a wedge that is cut at the same angle as the latitude of your imaging location. (Ball head for polar aligning can be painful as you have to get both directions aligned simultaneously).
This will get you in the ball park of your altitude adjustment. Any finer adjustment can be done through changing the height of the front tripod leg.
