Mine is on the "outside" of the core like yours. The big differences between my setup and that picture are:

1) I have my trans cooler on the driver's side and oil cooler on the passenger side (opposite above). The lines are more natural that way (shorter runs).
2) I'm using the same bracket pictured (the one from Setrab themselves), but I used one on the bottom and one on the top (to the back of the alum crash bar, with an extra piece of angle aluminum to mate them up). This limits hose routing options to some degree, but prevents the cooler swaying back and forth on the bottom mount under accel/brake.
3) I had to move my cooler further inboard (towards center post laterally) than that, by about an inch or two, to get the lines to route past it out the same side (one behind, one over the top, and both stock PS cooler lines running behind), and as a result it sticks past the center post an extra inch or two. Thus, had to cut away a fair amount of the center post's depth, including the bracket for the air temp sensor.

I ended up putting the air temp sensor in the upper center area between the G3 intakes, so now it's a "that pocket of air up by my intakes" temp sensor, which I imagine will read a bit higher with all the hot air from the various radiators.

Between the 9-series 25-row oil cooler and the 6-series 19-row trans cooler, there's only a tiny tiny gap left between the two now. Almost all airflow has to go through those to reach the radiator (well, the trans cooler lets some pass beside/above, but not much). I don't think you could fit 2x 9-series very well at all.
