I've always wondered how to do half-staff on a stff that hasn't got enough room for that arrangement.

Sorry. I meant parallel to the ground. I was thinking one thing and wrote the other. If you look at the flag holder there is one flange that goes straight out and one at a 45 degree angle. For half staff you should put the flag post in the one that goes straight out.
