from what you are describing, it sounds like the brace replaces the top nuts and washers on the top of the struts? if so then the washer dish needs to be pointing up.

Looks like because yours is five door it has different shelf supports to a 3 door?
As you can see there is loads of room on mine.

Does it not just unbolt from below? Never seen a 5 door one but surely its not metal and welded is it?

Not going to be a simple bolt in job. Some modification might be required… There is an easy 15mm you can cut off the top of that brace.
