What I did in my Gateway 600YGR was use thin double sided tape to mount the antenna below the metal bracket directly onto the plastic of the lid so the antenna is effectively behind and outside the bracket, and I've been getting excellent reception.

If I can find the time amongst harddrives failing in my servers and handholding the SCADA guys so they don't screw up my plant I'll see if I can take some pictures of it.
