You would have to use a ball end hex wrench to remove it currently. This could also be made easier by swapping the low gears and high gears.

In yours there is much less webbing at the edges of the CIMs. Particularly the top one where there it is best to have webbing near the bottom of said CIM as this will prevent the CIM from sagging. I would recommend adding a web between the top standoffs on the back plate which would cross over the lower face of the top CIM.
I think the WCP gearbox only has one web that goes vertically to the bottom of the CIM. That is what this configuration has as well. Here is a close up of the CIM mount:
