I think there's enough room to get your finger in there and move it around, but not enough room to slide it fully into place. Kevin, correct me if I'm wrong on this so I can learn too.
correct. there's plenty of room to adjust them, but not enough room to remove or insert the tool, so it needs to be inserted ahead of time and left in place.

i think it's POSSIBLE to insert the tool with the struts in, but you have to bend it a lot. better to just put it in first.
