Rim Joist to Ledger on Inside Corner of the House

Just a quick question.

They say to screw the rim joist to the end of the ledger. One side, no issues. The other side is on the inside corner of the house, so that part is impossible to screw into the end of the ledger. Should I just use an angle bracket or should I use lag screws to put another type of side ledger against that side of the house with an angle bracket and add another joist against it to make it a double rim, or is there an easier, but safe way?
