It also appears to me the strut rod actually has a curve in it.
I'd screw & glue a piece 1×2" or 1×4" x 6-8-10" long, whatever it takes to get the curve out, on the inside wall which would also give a better screw hold for the strut.
On the door side I epoxied a 2" wide × 6" piece, it's what I had laying around, of aluminum to the inside of the door & then put the screws for the strut bracket.
