Throttle cable to throttle body connection?

I am building an RV7 with Superior M1B IO360 and SDS EFII. It has horizontal induction and I am confused as to how I secure the throttle cable to the engine case as it runs under the engine to the throttle body arm. The stock vans bracket that secures the throttle cable to the engine case uses two vertical bolts and doesn’t fit given the orientation of the throttle body arm. Any ideas or pics of what builders do?

The Superior manifold is different from Lycoming. You will need to fabricate your own brackets and bolt it to the pad in your second picture
 
Thanks Swingwing. Perhaps someone has a sketch of what they fabricated to make this work?
My setup is different but I started with cardboard to mockup the brackets then did them in scrape aluminum to get exactly what fit before making them out of 4130. (Before others comment….The picture is during fit up so some of the hardware is temporary 😉)
