I read his helpful comment and tried that. It got me halfway there. What really worked for me was taking a cap screw with a tapered end (pull one off the undershroud) and threading it in to the hole closest to the brake fluid reservoir, just enough to hold the brace in place while I put the farthest fastener in. Then I pulled the tapered screw and threaded in the one Z1 provided.

I hope this helps someone; I know I spent more on tools to try and solve this problem than the damn brace cost, and finally gave up out of frustration lol
