The xho strips - they'll be flanking the T5 hybrid...

Did you end up doing this?
Yep. Easy to do and worked fine. I just drilled a small hole in the Stellar and used the stock Reefbrite brackets.

But it made the light massive so it didn't look great...

I ended up swapping the Stellar out for the Reefbrite quad kit.

That’s why I have a canopy, to hide my lighting monstrosity of orpheks, reef brites, T5, and Reefi.
