Default Help Please, Springer passing lamp, windshield bracket reinstall.

I need Help Please,
Before I disassembled, I took pictures of how the passing lamps, windshield bracket where assembled with the head lamp but all my pictures on my phone have disappeared.

Anyway, I have a 2003 FXSTS Springer and needed someone to take pics, or verify how these go back together. The Shop Manual is vague and I'm lost. I know what I have now is wrong becase the bolt going through the headlamp bracket is touching the top of the shock and there isn't a bolt for the front of the windshield bracket. If I move the bracket back there isn't room to maneuver the head lamp

Thanks

Thank you.
So that bracket is supposed to be screwed into the hole behind the shock, but it seems like the headlight can't be adjusted so close to the springs.

I found those "Lady Killer" pics too.. WTH? I don't know if I'd want that steeley dan on my bike.

I did a Google image search and it looks like the images came from this "Lady Killer" article.
