Knee Bracing a 6x6 Post to a 3x 2x10 beam

I am building a deck (attached picture below) and trying to figure out how to create the knee bracings for the post. My posts are 6x6 (5.5" width) and the beams are 3x 2x10 (4.5" width), with a deck height of 60".

I am using the tool deck planner from simpson strong-tie, however they have a bug on their software as they recommend to use a KBS1Z knee braced, but this only works if the beam is same width as the posts (I confirmed the bug with an engineer from simpson strong-tie).

I am therefore wondering whats the best way to create a knee brace on this type of setup. I found a few examples online as you can see below, but none of them have a solution for this issue. As there is a difference in width between the beam and post.
