Default Is250 awd f-sport front sway bar

So i ordered a front F-Sport sway bar for my 2006 IS250 AWD. I confirmed with the parts guy at my Lexus dealer that he was getting the right part. I dropped it off at the dealer to get it installed. 5 hours later they called me and told that the sway bar does not fit my car and he checked with the national tech and they told him that there is not a front sway bar for AWD. This totally contradicts what I have seen on this forum and all websites. He also told me that he spent 4 hours taking the front end apart before he realized that it doesn't fit. Can anyone out there validate this service tech's claims. They installed the rear one for me and it only took them 30 minutes. Is that guy an idiot or have my research on AWD front sway bars an illusion. Thanks in advance.

Since your dealer is apparently incompetent, here's the directions to install the bars (including the FRONT one) on an AWD 2006-
