Most times you have to cut and weld the right side seat strut. Then it becomes a matter of getting the strut as close to the engine as possible and still be able to make chain adjustments. Sometimes offset engine mounts can be used. The strut on the left can be bent to get the rest of the width.

I use a XL tall ribtec even with just the XL you have to do as Walt mentioned. I've managed to get a XL ribtec in my Arrow and Wildkart without cutting and moving the strut but I like to move the seat a lot. If you just bend the tabs to get it in there you'll have to bend to move even just a little. Cutting off the strut and moving it over greatly simplifies the installl. You can shim the seat exactly where you want it if you move the seat strut.
