That's not likely to work, either. The clamp will interfere with the existing braze-on.

The realistic options are:
  • extend the slot in the existing braze-on tab, if possible
  • just leave it with a large gap (and pay close attention to the adjustment)
  • ditch the compact and get at least a 52-tooth large chainring
