Light bar mounting issue

So, I bought a N-Fab 30" light bar mount for the 2017, and we have an issue... The ACC module (and I think collision avoidance) is mounted inside the left front tow hook, making it impossible to use the inside bolts to attach the mount.

I've contacted N-Fab and sent them pictures as well, but I had a thought afterwards... if they made a similar mount that attached to the bolts on the outside of the tow hooks, it would accommodate a 40" light bar no problem!

Either way, I can't find any mounts that accommodate the ACC module and allow for mounting without removing it. Has anyone else found a way to do this on a 2017? I've attached a picture from N-Fab on the mount of am2017, and some pics I took to show the issue.

I'd like to see a mounting bracket that would span the entire bumper cut out. I think it could be rigged to the outside bolts on the tow hooks.

the problem with that is, if it goes across in front the the ACC radar unit, the ACC wont work.
