The door Gas Strut Attach Brackets do not fit very well to the Cabin Cover. They need to move considerably inboard to get a good fit which would entail a lot of trimming of the Cabin Cover.
Has this been typical with other builders?

Yes, that is the way mine were. I just cut a notch in the cover big enough for the bracket and enough room to get the bolt in and out. I also built up a pad, of epoxy and fiber, so that the entire bracket made contact with the lid.

It’s not abnormal that they don’t fit really well out of the mold. We build up a bed of flox underneath them to get a better seat where they are supposed to go with no voids between the bracket and the cabin cover. I thought I had a picture, but I guess I don’t.
Do not archive.

Here's some pictures of my installation:

You can page fwd and back to see some other related pics.
I really didn't cut the hinge back inside of the cabin top edge, however
I did have to file a little off of the back of the atttach bracket where
I had an interference with the screw/bolt threads projecting from the
hinge. If I had it to do over I would move it slightly inboard as it
will also give you more clearance between the strut and the inside of
the cabin door when the door is closed. As you can see in the last link
pic above it's very close for me.

Same here, except I didn't build the epoxy pad. But yeah, I did
notch in around the brackets a bit, like between 1/4" and 1/2",
preserving as much of the curved edge as I could in case water
got in that channel. (hasn't).
