Well, It might be too late already, but just incase your still stuck with the car apart I'll answer . Since you don't have much of a choice in the matter, if the pump is too big around, just wedge that sucker in there. That hanger is just a couple peices of cheep steel that can be bent w/o too much trouble. Just be careful not to damage any of the lines or wires. But you won't hurt it by bending it. And it doesn't have to be pretty, not like anyone can see it .
