I installed KC slimlites with KC mounts on the a pillar and put on a short antenna. No problem whatsoever. You might want to look into these if you dont like what you have. I have the KC slimlites longrange and they put a beam way out there. Really nice.

Am I seeing correctly... Is the antenna bracket actually bending your antenna out of the way? My bracket was drilled too small for my light's stud so I had not tried the bracket yet.

Yes, it stops the oem antenna from hitting the light.
