Indeed it will be easy to fabricate a bracket....now that I'm aware that Section OP-52A exists. Of course now I need to figure out what gauge is is best suited for this application, length and material for the spacers, etc. One thing I would certainly do is put an additional nut plate on W-00017 to keep the bracket from wanting to rotate up or down. This would be difficult to do after they are in place. The landing lights could be shimmed for aim.

You don't
have to fabricate anything if you don't want to.
You could just buy an optional landing light kit that comes with the brackets already made.

It is optional for the same reason as previously mentioned.... not everyone wants the same thing. In this case, if you would be happy with this light, you can buy the kit and have all of the parts to install it, but there would have been no point in putting the bracket parts for this light, in the wing kit, for someone that intended to use a totally different light.
