New Priority Hot Sauce. SKS Bluemels. I knew it was going to be a challenge (Priority support cautioned me). I thought the issue would be the height of the fork, it’s also that there are no eyelets near the wheel nut. Seems like have two options:
- find some way to attach to the nut AND find some longer bracket.
- cut the rods on the fender?

I would go to the hardware store and find something to make an extension for the bracket.
[the Problem Solvers Fender Flute](https://problemsolversbike.com/products/fender-flute) might help.
For the upper bracket:

For the stays: something like [this](https://ridepdw.com/collections/fender-hardware-1/products/eyelet-set) should work for a quick-release wheel. Since your wheel appears to be a bolt-on wheel, you would have to modify the PDW parts, or hunt down something similar that works with bolt-on wheels.
You are meant to attach the fender to the single bolt further up the fork. That way you avoid any interference with the disc brake. Looks a little funky, but works great. You will need to shorten the fender stays once you’ve got the position set.
Then you just need an extension for the tab at the top. They sell purpose made ones – if there’s a shop near you that does a lot of city/commuter bike, they might have something in stock. Or you can rig something up fairly easily.
Sorry if I’m misunderstanding the problem. But why don’t you attach the fender poles to the hole in the middle of the fork?
