So I ordered the WRX pooper scooper. Can anyone advise me on how I can install this with out compromising the hood structure as I hear when cutting out the bracing, it makes the hood weak and flimsy.
im hoping I can simply trim the areas on the vent to go over the bracing and keep it in place. Does that sound like an option?

The bracing is going to block a lot of the airflow. Plenty of people have cut it out to install various vents. It won't be a big issue if you don't lean on the hood.

Looks to be about even with the headlight covers. It isn't that critical, just eyeball it.
More important that it's completely square to the front of the hood. If it's the least bit crooked, you'll see it.
