long, climbing grades found on the west coast and southwest combined with big ass tires, heavy armor and improper gearing, you end up with 200+ tranny temps. Sure, you can manual shift and keep the vehicle out of overdrive, but then you are driving like 40 mph on a freeway w/ a long steep grade with semi trucks trying to murder you in the slow lane....
Otherwise, if you're commute is relatively flat, then you will not run into this problem. Its a regional problem mainly is the best way to put it..

Right, that makes sense improperly geared or something loading it down. I live in the beautiful Ozarks national forest of Arkansas. Definitely not flat. The bracket could be easily made for a couple dollars of plate. Easy way to make a killing building this stuff.

Yep.
Steep climbs on paved roads, particularly at high altitude with lower air density is where I see the temps really rise.

I'd probably use a nutsert. I already have some and the installer as part of my arsenal.

I frequently tow my overloaded trailer all sorts of places that can really warm the trans up :-)

Not so good news from Iconic
“Unfortunately not very good for the near term. After finally getting my hands on a 5th gen I see there is a lot of stuff in the way. I have a prototype bracket sitting on my bench waiting test fit but I'm not optimistic about it fitting correctly. I'll keep tinkering on it.
-Devon”

Mine is on the same side but offset a bit from sitting flat against the radiator. Two generic L brackets with one off the rad support and one off the front grill support. Just drilled some holes and some nutserts.

I mounted the cooler here on my 08 I haven't studied my 23 much but if I had a premade bracket I'd relocate the horns to the other side and basically mount it where the horns are. I like an air gap between the cooler and condenser.

To make any mount work on passenger side,
you just have to bend things carefully out of the way.
I have a winch mounted high and I was still able to fit a tranny cooler.
