Issues joining two flanges in sheet metal model

Hi all, I have tried searching but not exactly sure how to word my question. Basically I have two flanges that would obviously conflict if they were both "full" flanges along the entire edge. I have gone around this prevoiously when it wasn't necesssary for it to look perfect by just making two partial flanges like in the second example, but I need to have them both look like a clean joint. Any help or guidance is appreciated!
Here is a link to this doc I made as an example: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/64b7db511428edc015a8dbbc/w/9947336b711ba2a1c5fc8b56/e/b6a5e7c17d1aafd3cd3e8d22

You're working too hard. A sheet metal extrude is a good start using a simple corner with tear relief. Then add flanges.
