You might see if you could bolt the pump to those vertical support members, or bolt a generic angle-iron type of bracket to the holes already there and then bolt the pump to that. I mounted mine to the support rail across the front of the fuel tank on my longbed, but I'm not sure if shortbeds have that.
As for that throttle cable routing, It might help to flip around that P-clamp bracket (if you can) that's mounted to the boomerang, so the cable housing passes thru it towards the firewall side rather than the nose side as you have it now.
Also, was there a threaded ferrule on the end of that cable housing that you removed? If so, put that back on if you can, as that should attach to the bracket on your carb, secured by a pair of nuts like so:
