Default header pipe question

Hi all. I'm installing some Vance & Hines Longshots on my 2005 low rider, and the instructions are awful. I'm wondering if the clamp for the front header pipe mounts to the top or bottom of the bracket?

I put forward controls on it, and it seems like if I used the bottom of the bracket, it would interfere with the rear brake pushrod.

A picture or two in the instructions would be nice

thanks in advance.

Don't know if this will help but...... I have forward controls on my 05 Wide Glide. Couple photos here showing how my Long Shots hook up... Hope this helps.
