If you put the crow foot on at a 90° angle it will be close.
If the foot extends past the center of the drive of the torque wrench the value will read low and if it angles back the wrench will read high.
I've used a 1/2" combination wrench grabbing a torque wrench that came back towards the handle. Then I put a socket drive adaper in the box end of the wrench.
The torque wrench i was using at the time didn't go low enough. It's all about ratios: if you had 18" tq wrench and a 6" combination wrench, set the tq to 30 ft·lb and you apply 20 ft·lb to the fastener.
Snap on has an extender for their torque wrench and an app to calculate the offset.
