Yes some TTs have them welded. I had one.
If a different brand of brackets can be used, such as the ones already mentioned, that may be a solution. Or the different length bars if that ia an option. Other than that, a cutting wheel, and grinder to cut the bracket off. repaint it and then reinstall it with screws. Really not all that hard. If you need a grinder, Harbor Freight sells them cheap.
You do need the chains as vertical as possible when the TV/TT are in a straight line. They become angled when turning. If they are angled before turning, then there will likely be contact between the bars and frame when turning.
