@i_mazlov sorry I thought I deleted this post as I solved the issue.

Anyway to anyone who stumbles upon this question here's how I solved it:

for i,pt in enumerate(points_list[::-1]):

    off = c4d.Vector(distance * i,0,0 )
    mg = pt.GetMg()
    mg.off = off
    print(rotation.x)
    rm = c4d.utils.HPBToMatrix(rotation)
    pt.SetMg(mg * rm)

So basically if the objects are inserted in the hierarchy and you start from the last one with the transformations this will work just like in the OM.

@ferdinand I've played with your idea for a bit and then realized, that the point where the adj meets the ground is wrong, as it should be the point where a circle or f = opp with center in O meets the ground. Eventually I decided to just hack it a bit and change the position of the rotating object and the object inside to counter that move. Here's the result:
