nope, thats the correct bracket location. If he was using the jdm radiator bracket it comes out at an angle and would fit it! looks like he's using a KA one though, so it doesn't have the extension to hold the cold pipe

Coldpipe is from a guy in Japan. Had it custom made for his CA that he had when stationed in Osaka. So, in Japan, the brackets are dead on.
