Little late comment but if anyone is wondering upside down mounted locks work just fine, picking is very unpleasant though, (it can be done). Mainly because of the weird angle, but also if you let up a little on the tension, the pins will slip, though it makes checking if pins are set is easier.

yOUVe answered your own problem. Using a plastic shim to slide thru the jamb at the level of the bolt would have saved you a bunch of time & money
