You may need to bend the bracket or cut some foam away etc

Yip one needs to be a contortionist with elf fingers to get that nut back on. Helps to remove the front seats so one can lie on ones back, or use a small mirror to see whats going on.

I must admit I don't have a lot of trouble with this, make sure the stud is through the hole, use a 1/4 Drive socket and short extension, I use my left hand to do the right one and my right hand to do the left, the left is more of a git, but not that much agro, just sit in the drivers seat and lean over, un hook the heater to give you more room.
