Default Electrical Box On Wood Siding Question

Hello,

Will be putting up a Deck light, which will be mounted against the typical
horizontal wood siding.

I see that they have available at HD a plastic mount for the light which has
a tapered groove (or slot) on the side that is mounted to the siding. The
taperered groove thereby allows the mount, and lamp, to fit all nice and
square, and perpendicular as if it were a flat wall it was being mounted
against.

I will probably have to run some pvc conduit to a new electrical box also on
the siding.
Think they are called BELL boxes.
They're the AL ones that are about 4 inches, more or less, square and have
holes on each side and bottom to accept threaded fittings.

Does anyone offer any kind of tapered "piece" to allow a box of this kind to
also fit
vertically on the siding rather than at the siding's angle ? Can't seem to
find any.

Was hoping that there might be a thin tapered piece with athe appropriate
angle on one surface to place between the box and siding.

Or, any other suggestions ?

Thanks,
B.
