Can't you cut a square from the corner then fold up each edge and solder (or similar)?
I think the only way you form that in a continuous flange would be to press it from a sheet then trim the excess....that would require tooling and a press.

If you can accept round corners it would much easier to flip that flange.
Whit a sharp corner it will require a lot of stretching in a small area.
If you want to give it a go anyway I would start with a blunt chisel or bolster in the middle of the triangular area to stretch and work slowly outwards.
Don't cut the excess to a corner, fillet it to avoid tearing.
Red lines is your template.
White is sheet metal
Begin stretching along blue line and work towards the green.
Haven't done much in copper but I assume you need to stop and anneal multiple times.
