It's not the type s and it's a Japspeed strut I haven't got a pic but if ur stood at the side of the car they are both towards the windscreen side, if that makes any sense lol

Hmm. Don't think there should be any other nuts there then. You've obviously got the three nuts around the top of the shock (2 or 3 of these depending on your brace will be used for each side of your brace brackets). The next two closest nuts will be the upper wishbone nuts, but they shouldn't be in the way.
Can you make out where they are from this pic?...

Yes
your S-spec would have came with a JDM strut brace as standard if you have the extra 2 studs
