Hopefully this makes sense and somebody has another suggestion.

A few options:

You could try finding a molding that is close to the reverse owhat is
there and put it on backwards.

Change existing molding to brick mold.

On my screen door the frame screws in from the front and the sides. I
suspect most are this way.

I think you will be fine just installing it on the molding you have.
The screws going in from the inside of the frame into the jam are
going to hold everything just fine.
