LR4/Discovery 4 tow hitch receiver storage

[nileseh]

The car is a 2012 LR4, It came without the tow package.  I bought the Land Rover original parts to add it, the wiring harness, and the LR040248 receiver, a clever bit that. So now storage, I came to understand that the left rear load space outboard side cavity was available and there is a Land Rover original part to facilitate, LR020002. I bought that, not yet installed, but I can't see how the storage fixture will accommodate the receiver. It does not seem to fit in any possible orientation.  Am I missing something here?

There's a picture here & some instruction:

Right.  The tow hitch shown here is the type used in the UK, a ball on a curved arm.  In the US the standard tow hitch is a ball on a 2" square tube hat is inserted in a 2"  socket receiver on the car.  The LR4 adapter has the taper insertion tab and pin lock, but instead of a arm and ball, it has a 2" square socket.  That leaves the  adapter somewhat bulkier than the UK item and it won't fit in the Styrofoam seat of the storage bracket.  It's a little odd, because the first image in the graphic install instructions clearly shows a square receiver opening in place in the side storage compartment. I suppose I can cobble the foam to make it fit, but if there is an appropriate device already available I'd prefer that solution.
