Relevant Equations

h

I suspect we can treat the L shaped rod as two rods and then find the com for that system and then find the com of the ball and that system

Yes!

or you could find the com of one of the rods and the ball, and then find the com of the 1st system and the other rod,

or better ...

Welcome @March !
Could you post the full homework and your attempt to solve it?
Have you been given any dimmensions and values for each mass?

It is often unnecessary to find a CoM. We need to see the whole question.
