Have parts coming from a vibratory bowl and dropping in various orientations. If the part is laying flat, how would I program the Robotiq and UR% to grip and present the part into the jig. There is a wrist camera and force sensor being used in conjunction with the grippers. The third picture shows how the part is to be presented to the drilling jig.

On your third picture, is it only the right end that fit in the jig or the whole part?

that is correct. the right side slips into a holding jig

Did you tried to grab the part from the other end, and make a 90 degree rotation before the insertion in the jig? 
Did the geometry of the part make it difficult to do and give unconsistent result? 
Or may be it's the location of the jig that don't allow you to do this? 
If so you might need to design custom fingers to be able to grab the part firmly.

Just might have to do the custom fingers. Thank you for the input
