Tilt hood question

I installed the rear guides and the instructions show the front part of the guide bolted on the top of the fender. To do it that way the flange on the guide needs to be ground to fit (no big deal) & the lip on the fender needs to be cut away or flattened.( kind of a big deal)
I saw a picture of a truck with it placed under the fender between the inner fender. I thought this way looks cleaner & no mods need to be done.
So anyone see why this way wouldn't work?
