Top job. It's owners making this extra effort to help others that sets this forum aside from othersThe bracket is just a little narrow for what you are shoving in there, particularly because there are two fat washers, so you need to line up the holes in all three at the same time. This was the only tricky part of the install, and why I put it on my lift after starting on the garage floor. But what I eventually worked out would probably have worked on the floor.
Without the damper, I partially threaded the bolt back into place in the bracket. Then I used a bearing puller to shove the bolt in all the way. The nut is welded onto the bracket, so this pushed the two plates apart. I let it sit like that for a few minutes. It was just enough to get everything in there. I think once you see it this will make sense, but I'm going to make use of my incredible Paint skills here. The goal is to just spread apart the C bracket a little bit. Also, I don't know how to draw a bearing puller.

Agile's instructions show a flange nut on the back of that C bracket. My Feb 2023 build RHD vehicle also has a flange nut.
You note a welded nut on your vehicle. I'm not questioning your post, just curious if there has been an engineering change?
