Wheelbuild question: Alignment issues between rim drilling and straight pull hub?

I'm having a little issue with a new wheelbuild: My Stan's rim is drilled such that the spoke hole in front of the valve hole is offset to the drive side. However, my DT straight pull hub is set up to where the 'boxed' section of spokes, where you normally want the valve to go, has the non-drive spoke in front of the drive side spoke. Since this is a straight pull hub, I'm not able to adjust the spoke angle/position at all to get things in the right spot.

Therefore, I can see no way to get the valve in the correct position without running spokes to the wrong side of the rim. Unless I'm just missing something obvious, which is certainly possible. Never built a straight pull setup before.

Hopefully the pictures below show what I'm talking about. Any advice?
