How to triangle a corner?

I made this in Sketchup (barely), and I'm now learning how to design like a pro with Fusion, but I can't replicate this darn corner. This is one half of the part (mirrored) made out of metal sheets. So I'm figuring out how to make it using Metal Sheets mode in Fusion, with no luck so far. All tutorials are just showing some standard practices, but nobody shows complex stuff like this.

In sketchup I did this by creating the two walls with 90 degree angle, then made a box, rotated it 30 degrees in 2 planes, set it's corner to the triangle top (opposite of the side that's not connected to a wall) and cutting the walls.

 

How do I do this in fusion?

So far, I managed to do 2 bends around the triangle (30 and 60 degrees)

But this doesn't give me the 90 degrees I need between top and side walls

So triangle's free side needs to be a bit longer. I don't know how to calculate it with maths, and I bet there's an easier way to go about it in Fusion.

 

The other thing I started is to make the 90 degree bend first like this

but then I don't know what to do with it.

 

I could copy-paste the values from sketchup, but then I'm not learning how to use Fusion, and I might get a 100th of a milimeter wrong and then wonder why it doesn't fit.

 

How do I go about these two bends? This triangle corner?

You could create 2 sketches then a loft between them something like this. File's attached.
