Is there a nut on the inside of the fender or does the strut bolt thread into a flat boss inside the fender like on the heritage? Either way, maybe you can try this:
I had the same problem before and ran a quick sinch knot with some high test strength fishing line through a flat washer, leaving plenty of length to tie the wires up in. After the strut bolt was tightened back up I tied the wires off with the excess line. As long as the fishing line is just compressed in the washer it will hold every bit as good as a zip tie, and this solution was ultra low profile and will be plenty secure.

Through trial and error (a lot of trial and error), I found that a tight fender is not condusive to under fender wiring.
I gave up trying and went with external wiring zip tied to the swingarm. Good luck.

How about cutting the flat side off, and reducing the arch on the strap.Then use zip ties to hold the wires secure to he strap. I don't recommend the 1x1 zip tie holder, or double sided tape, not under the fender.
