I am mounting the trunk gas struts and am concerned about the location of the "ballstud bracket". If I install the bracket as described in the manual, won't the edge of the bracket rub against the seat belts once installed? I can flip the strut to the other side of the hinge and then move the bracket towards the center of the vehicle (I have seen this mentioned in other threads - maybe Jeff K described this?), but I want to make sure that the angle of the strut isn't an issue--if done this way the strut is not in a straight line with the hinge/bracket - it would now angle towards the center of the vehicle.

Your constructive input is appreciated!
