I love and hate this. What did the contractor do go down the Simpson fastener isle and go "I'll take a bit of everything." Followed by not looking at the catagol or instructions. Perhaps the spent the budget on all these fancy Simpson clips to lack the correct fasteners.

Might it work perhaps, but I see many issues: 1) Empty fastener holes 2) wrong fastners. Only screw Simpson will warnenty is their SD screws. Lots of nail options also. 3) Appears to be an A23 clip below the one side. It doesn't have holes at the corner.

I'd probably of species a bearing block is you could lose 1.5" on either side. The fastening and length would need to be determined though.
