Question on LMC lower fender patch

I'm working on replacing the rusted section of my front fenders (59 Apache)
I ordered a pair of patches from LMC.My question is, on the OG fender the fender brace / stiffener on the inside is pinched under the rolled edge of the fender. The LMC patches have a 90* flange on the back edge (closest to the door). Should I be bending this flange over onto a stiffener/brace or is this 90* flange the new stiffener?
Sorry for no pics but I'm at work (lunch time brake) and this is on my mind.
Thanks in advance.

Yes the flange is folded over the brace. You may need to trim it so its not to wide. Take a hammer and dolly and work it over slowly not all at one time. Move up and down the edge until its over the brace.
