Yes I do!Do you have the mutlifunctional tailgate?
I didn't even make that connection! I thought the bracing they are was internal. So to retrofit the back gate people just have to add that brace?I assume you have the split tailgate? It's supposedly added bracing since the tailgate puts additional stress on the bed sides

Damn bracket is in the way of my new addition to the truck! Not sure what I'll do now.As stated above, it's for added support with the split tailgate. I saw a few at a local dealer yesterday.

Interesting that was my issue as well! I was try to get the cargo management system to slide underneath with no luck ! I ended up removing the brackets and putting it back after it just rested on top of the rail. I tightened the corner bracket first then the side rails and it worked fine until my second issue. Did you have slop in your cargo management? My threaded bolts protrude from the channel by a little bit not allowing it to fully tighten to the channel.it's in the way of ALMOST ANYTHING you want to do with the truck bed.
Bed divider - doesn't fit - but I cut the rails down to MAKE IT FIT.
Covers - very few will fit. Gator Hybrid Tri-Fold will fit - because the clamps miss the bracket. Pretty much any other one, will have rails or clamps that the bracket interferes with.
And, according to a post from another member:

Removing them could VOID THE WARRANTY if you have issues with the bed down the road.
I left mine on - but will likely remove them down the road - you could just as easily put them back on (after taking off accessories that interfere with them) and deny they were ever taken off.
this is part of the "early adopter blues" - rumor has it, some of the cover manufacturers are talking 1Q/2Q for '20 - to have versions that will work.
In my case, I'm a shortie (5'5") so the convenience of getting right into the bed without having to reach over 2' of tailgate was important.
Honestly - between the accessories issue, and the fact that it isn't as weatherproof as the non MFT version - if I knew then, what I know now: I might have SKIPPED this $995 option. $$ may have been better spent elsewhere.

Cut down divider bracket - Gator Tri-Fold Mount Clamp with MFT Bracket...
YMMV.
Best of luck...

I just had some low profile brackets custom made of 3/8” steel that I installed this weekend in preparation for a tonneau cover

Did you have slop in your cargo management? My threaded bolts protrude from the channel by a little bit not allowing it to fully tighten to the channel.
I got the tri-fold soft cover with my all black package and it works perfectly. I was actually going to replace it with a aftermarket version but it is working better then expected.
When I installed the cargo management I just put it in loose and tightened the corner bracket first then tightened the cargo system second. If anyone has issue with it, easiest solution would be to modify the rails themselves and just drill an extra hole for the threaded blocks about 1/2" higher. Shouldn't be an issue with clearance either. I may end up doing this to mine as well but we shall see. I contacted Roll-N-Lock who manufactures the Mopar cargo management and they are sending me new threaded blocks since they weren't right. I may have to find a shop to mill them down a little.The Mopar Divider - has threaded inserts that slide into the (existing) rails. The divider rails than bolt INTO the inserts. I didn't see any way for the rail to fit UNDER the corner brackets AND bolt them in correctly. Then again, I didn't spend a whole lot of time TRYING - because I removed the corner brackets and found the hold down clamps cover I got (Gator Hybrid) wouldn't work properly with the divider rail.
So I chopped the divider rail down. I still get the divider in the positions I would want it in - and I don't have to deal with the corner brackets or the top being interfered with.
Now - whatever cover I end up getting, will likely require the divider rails to come OUT to properly install - but they "should" go back on, after the mounts for (whatever) cover I get down the road are installed.
I'm almost interested in a poll, seeing how many people just ditched the brackets ENTIRELY - but I wouldn't want to see people "out themselves" and get denied warranty satisfaction - I we all start having issues with the bed down the road and they blame it on the brackets being removed.
Just look at all the RAMBOX PEOPLE that are having problems with the covers/doors warping (so glad I didn't get those - only because I really don't need them - and I thought they made the bed look ugly)

If you did you bracket substitution it should work. It may be snug around the bolts but I agree with the installation guy. My father has the same unit and it's really nice. I like the option to stop it at any point instead of preset locations. Since he he a local installer and if it doesn't work should be easy to return or maybe let him install it.They said there is a bit of space on either side of the cannister and after viewing the install video on the Retrax website, it looks like it should work.
Yes they work.Old thread i know - So did these brackets work out ?
