This is a really stupid question demonstrating (no doubt) limited

furniture strap (to anchor a cupboard to a wall)?

The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask.

I agree about the strap. Throw it away & use a bracket

This also has the advantage that it locks the cupboard 'square' & makes
adjusting doors much easier.

Can't be seen if above eye level e.g top of wardrobe. If it will be seen,
mark the wall at the top of the cupboard, move it aside & fit the bracket
upside down IYSWIM.

The free straps that come with some cupboards are about 5 inches long - if
you screw one end in to the cupboard there is not enough room to get a
screwdriver in between the cupboard and the wall to screw the other end
in!

As you say, they can't be fited that way, so as to be invisible. If you
don't want a bracket showing, drill trough the back of the cupboard & screw
to wall.
