Exit front skid shock install question

I have a 2019 summit 850 I am putting exit shocks on. When I went to mount the front skid shock to the upper mount the eye that bolts up next to the limiter strap is pressed hard against the strap. I can just get the bolt through to mount it. The shock is for a 17-18 and I am trying to put it on a 19. When I asked Zbroz what the difference between the year models was they said one of the bushings is a different size (which is the lower) and the reservoir is clocked at a different angle. I have a larger lower mounting shaft from a 17 so the different bushing size shouldn't be an issue. I bought the set up used and didn't realize there was a change from 18 to 19 so I'm trying to make it work... If you've installed this shock before on an 850 how did it fit the upper mount?

I had the same problem. I moved the limiter strap to the side like it is on the earlier summits and shock fit fine. There is a bracket for it on both sides on the upper arm.
 
Nice thanks!! I moved the strap over on top. Do you run it at an angle? I attached a picture of how mine looks moved over.
