Add a transform vector:

Select the new node then look at the context menu to the left, and make sure it is set to “World space to local space”

@mamoniem this worked to rotate the material; however, the skybox material now rotates a few degrees left and right based on the direction I’m looking. Any ideas?

Thanks so much Mamoniem! Adding a transform vector node after the reflection vector node allowed me to rotate it in any direction.
