That filter design was introduced for the 1940 models. In 1941, Ford routed the oil back directly to the oil pan through a dedicated boss near the left - front of the pan.
In 1942, the dipstick boss was modified to include a threaded hole for the oil return line. That modification eliminated the dedicated boss towards the front.
A reproduction boss is available and if you are up to it, installing the "new" boss would be a nice and clean way to get your task accomplished.
