How do you switch Pro R2 channel order to more standard Atmos SMPTE?

Pro R2 seems to be stuck/defaulting to Film/ProTools order rather than the more typical/standard SMPTE order for Atmos. It means I have to insert a channel matrix VST to correct fabfilters odd ordering out of the plugin because there's nowhere to select SMPTE in the plugin afaik? In fact it just seems to 'guess' and guesses wrongly all the time.
Also, how do you change channel formats from the plugin itself like most other plugins allow? e.g. say I change my mind and want to switch a 7.1.2 to a 7.1.4 width plugin? It seems this has to be done from the DAW/Host itself by changing track/bus width, which seems a huge oversight from fabfilter because there are many users who use agnostic channel widths in various hosts.
Can't say I've been impressed with usability of the plugin as much as the reverb itself, it's felt a bit like a powerful plugin, but it's been wrapped in a straight jacket when it comes to usability and flexibility maybe?
