Raynox GCR-250 with Godox MF12 or Nikon R1C1

Has anyone used the Raynox GCR-250 with either the Godox MF12-K2 kit or the Nikon R1C1?

I've ordered a Raynox but cannot see whether it will fit together with lens mounted flash outriggers like the MF12 or R1C1.  If it does work, what is the order of fitting these together - is the Raynox clipped on first and the flash units clip to that or what?

About to buy one or the other flash system, so any experiences would be gratefully received.

I don't have a Raynox but I do have the Godox MF12. I think what you might have to do is mount the Godox MF12 and then hot glue a step up ring to the outside of the MF12 a so that you can clip the Raynox onto it. You should still have plenty of room in front of the Raynox to get light onto the front of your subject.

This guy does something similar at the 4:40 mark time frame.

I take photos, not particularly good photos, mostly abstract photos. Yeah abstract is what I would call them, you might call them blurry.
