It's suposed to mount on top of the rear shockk towers. Sorry I don't have a pic. Do you have a pic of the bar you got?
Does the part where it mounts come off? If so, it could be reversed. Some of the more in-expensive ones are designed this way. Some also have a screw on type deal. Maybe to adjust it or to fit more cars.

how much did you pay? I don't think it's all that bad that it mounts there. Might not do much good there actually depending on how high it's mounted. Is it really close the the bottom of the trunk or closer to the top of the shock tower? What brand is it. Never heard of one mounting there.

oh it mounted right to the bottom of the trunk(sheetmetal) offset by ~1 inch stand offs, not any where as high as the rear struct tower. if you mount it there you would have to cut a pattern of the struct bar into ur carboarded carpet that lay over the spare wheel well.
the front struct is really really nice-comptech like- nice polished look, strong and very sturdy, work great! but the rear is useless!
it was not expensive at all, 50 bucks for both on ebay, you do get for what you pay - its not a solid bar but its not all the way hollow, that it is reinforced. looks like this,
solid = [IIIII],
hollow = [ ],
reinforced = [ I I ],
if they had made mounts that attaches to the rear struct towers and a bar that would be long enough then it would be perfect
