Ultra sound works differently by bouncing sound waves off of stuff. That might work.
I’m familiar with how both x-ray and ultrasonic testing works. I’ve had some experience with both nondestructive testing methods and have no doubt either one could help solve your issue if none of the other cheaper/simpler methods are able to.

Ultrasound could probably give you a decent enough image for what you’re trying to accomplish.

I hear what you’re saying about the x-ray detector positioning, but I don’t think that’d be an issue. There are portable X-rays that are strong enough to penetrate through very dense/thick materials and could penetrate through a section of fiberglass, wood, and stainless sheet metal. Take an image from the top down to get your cross-car and fore/aft location, and then an image from the side view to get your up/down position.
