Front strut brace won't fit

Got a front strut brace but I doesn't fit. It follows the curve or the rear engine bay fine and fits on the passengers side strut but hits the brake reservoir cap on the drivers side. Anyone know a simple way round this?
Cheers

change the reservoir around 180 degrees is the solution

Is it as simple as pull it out and push it back in? Or do I need new seals and that?

there will be fluid all over and if air gets in you might need to bleed the brakes?
