CS uses an aluminium bar, instead of the steel 'ATA' model which weighs as much as the moon. It is thinner and fits behind the CS bumper cover.

"Reinforcement #1" (52021-20210) is what you need.

That doesn't look like the genuine Toyota part. The mounting point are totally different and make the bar sit higher compared to the OEM bar, I think that's the problem.

looks to be mounted upside down. If you turn it around, then the reinforcement bar should be set inside the middle plastic and you will be able to mount your licence plate to it.
