Is it possible to change position of the RGB Camera of the D435?

I think in the D435 is the Depthmodule D420 inside. This board only has the Stereo Cameras and the laser projector. Where is the RGB Camera attached and is it possible to change the position of this camera, because the 90mm length of the D435 is to long for me

The D435 camera uses the D430 module. In the range of 400 Series module kit boards (D400, 410, 415, 420, 430), only the D415 Module Kit has an integrated RGB sensor. On the other modules, the RGB sensor has to be attached separately.

 

The modules come in different configurations to provide options for a wide range of projects. For example, the D420 is 64.70 mm wide but lacks mounting points on the sides of the board (a fork on one side and screw-hole on the other).

Diagrams for each of the modules can be found starting on page 99 of the data sheet document for the 400 Series cameras.

The Vision Processor D4 image processing board that should be paired with depth camera modules has a 50-pin connector for attaching an RGB sensor. There are two of these 50 pin connectors on the D4 board, one for an RGB sensor and the other one for connecting the depth camera module to it.

 

In the image below, the upper board is the depth camera module and the lower board is the Vision Processor D4. In the image, they are connected by a Rigid Interposer board that acts as a bridge between the two. A flexible custom-made cable can also be used instead of this rigid bridge-board to help the components best fit within the physical constraints of a product's casing.
