Sunset Porsche in Oregon. Just got off the phone with them. They're going to swap it for one that's correct. This is a bummer. Really surprised that Porsche would send you two left shoes.

Thanks for the responses, advice and pictures. I was sure it couldn't be right but thrown off by the fact that Porsche sent it to me that way!
Still terrified of stripping those bolts. So off to find a low end torque wrench.

Use a 1/4" ratchet - you don't need to "buy" a torque wrench for such light pressure.
I highly recommend my strut brace from Steve Wong. Only 1lb, 10oz, beautifuly machined aluminum (not heavy stamped steel) ends. http://www.911chips.com/C2strut.htm Only $195!

I bought the Schnell strut brace (also beautiful machined aluminum) from Vertex when I bought the HID's. They are currently $119 on sale, take five minutes to put on and fit under the carpet.

Be careful about not tightening the bar too tight. I have heard that it is actually possible to change your suspension geometry accidentally this way, by inadvertently drawing the shock towers closer or pushing them apart.
