Placing a block with minecraft:cardinal_direction

[charred forge]

Is there any way for me to place a block using scripting but also take minecraft:cardinal_direction into account? I am using this for a double block, and was just wondering if I can place the "top bit" with the same minecraft:cardinal_direction as the bottom block. I am using custom components beforePlayerPlaceOn. Maybe there is a different way of doing it rather than getting the states of the bottom block (which does not exist in beforeEvents lol)

I did check how playerView stuff works but it just returns xyz values instead of north and so on. Is there something that can do this?

are you placing the top block when the bottom block is placed in the beforeOnPlayerPlace?
