I was apparently unable to clearly explain the issue that I'd had with my strut mount. I finally got around to replacing them and took a couple of photos to show what happened. Seems like an unusual problem but I'm sure I'm not the first.
The top of the strut was no longer held in place by the mount and the strut had lifted several inches. It was also able to bang around from side to side and would have damaged the strut mount frame on the body had I not been able to restrict its movement. I posted picture above of what I had found that stabilized it. Worked as well as the original bracket though obviously was not a permanent solution.
Installed new KYB strut mount brackets.
