Why bother if it fits? The current bracket might interfere with the caliper, but with some bendage could be made to fit right?
Just get a longer allen key brake nut if you're unsure if there's enough nut holding the thread. Alternatively fit rear brake in front of it has a longer bolt and use front at rear with longer brake nut.

Maybe @gbj_tester can help me out here, I currently have the light bracket pictured below, but would like to make one out of some sheet metal rather than round as the bracket will be mounted between the fork crown and a caliper brake, so want it to be as slim as possible, whilst being sturdy enough to hold the light steady.
So, what thickness would be suitable, and what metal (stainless, brass, another)?
I have access to a bench vice and other workshop tools to aid cutting and bending.
