Default Lightbar mounting issues

I purchased a single row totron led offroad light bar 22 in and I'm wanting to mount it behind my front grill and have issues of where and how to mount it. Both the upper and lower hood latch seem to get in the way. Has any one mounted theirs behind their grill an diff so what type of mounts/ fabrication did you use. Pictures would be very helpful. Thks

These are the brackets I used for a 30", all you need is L brackets longer than the 6" ones for the 30" bar, then weld or spot weld the added part that needs be cut and attached to get some clearance from the trans cooler.

I'm wanting to mount it higher than the lower slot plus our plates are mounted there in Canada.

The bracket picks really help, my problem is that I don't have access to a welder, maybe I can bend a bracket into that shape...hhmmmm.

I know there was a thread all about light bars and different mounts on here. I recall seeing a few detailed write ups on mount 30/40's behind the grille.
