That picture you copied is of the first or second version of the bracket where I used a bolt and stack of washers to push the cooler forward to improve fitment and hose routing. After that the bracket was redesigned to achieve the new spacing.
I originally shared the picture to illustrate how the hose was to be routed in front of the radiator mount and also the need to bend the power steering line bracket about 1/2" forward.
The problem I anticipate with your suggestion is the barb running straight into the radiator mount (red arrow) if the cooler is moved back. Can you estimate what sort of increase in cooling might be gained from moving the trans cooler back? Based on the numbers I recently posted in #45 the trans fluid is already significantly cooler.
