Default Koni front shocks and brake line mounting

So my new ride has recently been fitted with koni shocks all round, the install was done by the previous owner, When I had the front wheel off it today I noticed they had the brake lines held to the shock with cable ties, has anyone got a better solution to this issue, I'm not a fan of my brake lines being held in place with these.

There should be a bracket there.
