Default RX catch can bracket

About a week ago i got a rx catchcan with a single valve and when i went to put the bracket on i cant find where it goes... i have spent over a day looking at other threads but could not find an answer. i know it usually goes on the head but the bracket it bent at a 90 and i did not get any intructions, some one please give me some input cause im about to throw this damn thing through my windshield. im aware on how to plum it so im good on that end. any input would be so appreciated cause im lost...

The bracket is fairly flexible and is made to bend for positioning. Mine is mounted to the head but had to be bent to fit correctly.

Sorry for the delay, but here are a couple pics of the can bolted to the head. Let me know if you need anything else or if this handles it for you.
