Being right on the curve of the inner roof was an unwanted surprise. I bent some 1/4" fender washers to approximate the curve, placed a narrow 1/4" lock washer over that, and modified Toyota/Lexus lock washer nuts (same thread pattern as the GM/Chevy torx bolts) by shaving down one side to clear the fender washer. Although, once the lock washer was added in between, it may not have been necessary to trim them as much.
Also, you can see how close that bolt is to one of the perpendicular support ribs. Had I thought to measure that when deciding on foot placement, that would have made for a more secure mounting point and easier flat spot to nut up.
