Perpendicular orient on a surface

Hi Community,

Could someone please advise how I can orient the hexagonal pipe shape flush onto the red triangular surface (so that the pipe is coming out perpendicular to the triangle. I have tried various cplane orientations and orient on surface commands but I don’t think I have the correct workflow. As you can see the model has a number of different planes so I would like to have a solid understanding of this technique so I can model on top of my existing structure.

Thank you in advance!

Have you tried Orient3Pt (Orient3Pt | Rhino 3-D modeling)? And then rotate it to the direction you want if it is not correct initially? I find this command to be very useful.
