How does the license plate light bracket mount on a 69?

[ATX B Body]

Does anyone have a picture of how this mounts to the bumper? Its supposed to fit a 69 B Body but I cant see how it mounts to the bumper without getting in the way of the fold-down license plate. Are there other versions of this bracket specific to 69? Sorry in advance if this is a dumb question!

That's not a DODGE '69 B body plate light.. this is..

If it's wrong, it is the same one on my 69 GTX.

Mounts just like you have it pictured. Sorry, no picks of mine installed. Pic of bumper with 2 mounting holes...

I can only assume he's working on a Dodge, based on his avatar and '69.

If he has a Dodge it is for sure the wrong light bracket.

That looks like it would clear the license plate for sure. However the mounting holes in my bumper are further apart (and they match the bracket). On my bumper, the license plate opening is a slightly different shape. I wonder if I have some funky non OEM bumper?

Nice catch! My car is a Frankenstein. Its a Plymouth with a Cornet front clip. Bought it that way...

You might be in better shape to pull the bumper and attach the light. It goes on like you have it pictured.

Mine went in on top of the bottom part of bumper blub towards the valance panel. Did not have a problem putting it in with bumper on the car. That could be the bumper is after market. Might have to loosen bolts on the bumper to get it in. Ming is a 69 runner.

My 69 GTX had the same as the original post as well

I first looked at my new light and bracket and said how in the heck dose the tag bracket clear that light. Then figured it out with a picture I saw some place. Mine slipped in with out removing the bumper.
