3 - move structure back while installing the new brackets
4 - install the concrete bolts/screws

That was my plan, but moving it a foot out of the way could be troublesome. It's blocked on 3 sides by concrete stairs/built in planters and a iron fence. The bigger issue is this damn thing is heavy and the posts barely move independently of each other (otherwise I would treat it like a 6 legged dog, slowly moving each post one at a time)
