How to fit engine bars???

Hi
I am trying to fit Wunderlich engine bars to my 2020 R1250RT.
https://www.nippynormans.com/sw-motech/engine-bars/wunderlich-engine-bars-r1250rt-chrome-finish
Part is 20381.
Having taken off the two grey trims that are aft of the heads I can see the lower mounting points that are the engine mountings, I can see the unused threaded hole on the front lower mounting BUT , how on earth do you get to the upper mounting point where the oem fog lights are bolted to the frame?
There are torx headed bolts that appear to go into captive nuts on the brackets for the fog lights. But there is no room to get at the head of the bolts and the Wunderlich instructions show their bolts going through thar mounting plate. It looks like they intended the bars to mount on models without the Orem fog lights but the description on the NN page states that they work with the lights?
Someone has done this before I am sure so any advice really gratefully received.
Thanks
