If you mount CF brace over the oem pressed steel corner braces, at the front shared bolt fixing the underside of the CF brace is not sitting down tight on a flat surface as intended.

IMHO this effectively limits CF brace structural contribution so either remove corner braces when fitting the brace or modify them locally at the shared fixing location so as CF brace can be tightened/clamped to flat surface.
