Trans Line Bracket. How is it mounted?

Yea, kinda. It's between the engine and the bellhousing, under the starter. The lower bolt that the engine to trans brace fastens to.

This is the way I think it goes, clip facing towards the top and between the brace and the bellhousing. But it just doesn't look like what I've seen and remember.

you're in the right area, it's just a matter of orientation.. IIRC it doesn't point up as you have it, in fact I think it points down. Try seeing if there is a "sweet spot" where it feels like it's not forcing the lines together. It does attach to the bell housing ~ but you knew that.
Someone will chime in here eventually with a definitive answer.
