Default 4l80e torque arm?

So a couple of months ago I started gathering parts and bought this BMR cross member for my 4l80e swap into my 4th gen T/A. But now I'm confused as to how I'm supposed to mount the stock torque arm since the 80e does not have the torque arm mounts that the 4l60e does. Any help?

You need a crossmember with a torque arm mount.

The crossmember you have is for use with a short torque arm that has its own crossmember between the trans and rear. You need the 4l80e for a long torque arm.
