I need some help with the so nasty orientation/rotation math of LSL :-)

The context is that i like to rez tiles aligning to a "master"-tile. The problem however is that i dont get it done.

The master tile has a scale of <0.5, 0.5, 0.1>. When I touch one of the low-height-sides, I can detect the normal vector of that side with llDetectedTouchNormal(0). At the moment of the touch, i like to have a new tile rezzed of the same scale, but perfectly aligned (glued, without linking) to the touched side of the master tile. 

As long as I dont use any rotation around the x- or y-axis i manage to get it done. Like to have it more full proof with the math so that rezzing a new tile in every position and rotation will be aligned making a plane from out the master tile.

aligned tiles

Thanks in advance for any mathematical + script help.

The new tile obviously has the same rotation as the original.
It is 0.5 m away from the original in the direction given by llDetectedTouchNormal

so:

float tileSide = 0.5;vector newTilePosition = llGetPos()+tileSide*llDetectedTouchNormal( integer index );rotation newTileRotation = llGetRot();
