to mount the rack I drilled threw the cap to the other side. then made 4x8 ish plates to help transfer the load inside. made a 2" riser that was drilled and tapped the lower bolts went into one set of holes up top then drilled on top 2 more holes and tapped blind drilled all of them btw. that way no water transfer. sealed with closed cell foam

Just depends on the rack and the cap, all I had to do was drill holes in my cap and then used the bottom mounts that usually go under the load bars on a regular roof rack on the inside of the cap, and ran the bolts through. Like this:

few things I wanted the rack to sit up off the roof a little thus the risers, your rack and mine are the same. same brackets even ish. I made the lower plates inside to help even out the stress of it because it had a tire and everything else on it.
