Ash - yes, I have the metal support bracket as well.
Got meself a '14 plate F8GS and the touring screen support is blocked by the front fairing. The screen on its own fits, but it does need the support to stop it flapping and vibrating.
Unfortunately we have discovered that she cant see over the top of the nav if I put it above the clocks so I have had to attaches it to the handlebar's instead.
