The wide bit is the top and the upper side is the one facing you when you look at the car. It should be obvious when you offer it up to the car that way up.

You need a sheet metal piece that bolts to the top of the bracket in your picture. This will have a spring on it, and the latch coming through it, and is what actually connects the bracket you have pictured, to the radiator support. The bottom of your pictured bracket just bolts to the slots in the bottom of your radiator support.

There are a lot of new parts being made for E-bodies but I don't know if that part is one of them. You might have to get one off of a parts car. Here is a picture of the bracket attached to the car. You can see that the horn bracket does bolt to it. Hope that helps.
