1) Having a slip joint be your braced connection is nasty. If at all possible, I'd try to find a way to not do this. That said, sometimes one is stuck with these kind of situations.
2) I don't know that it will be feasible to place the brace work point concentrically in this scenario unless you're willing to:
a) Forgo vertical slip between the brace and the beam or;
b) Have multiple rows of slip bolts which would be pretty strange.
I'll offer up the detail below as one possible suggestion. Naturally, I'm doing a lot of guessing when it comes to your particular situation.
