Undertail installation instructions PLEASE

I've been looking through bits and pieces too, but I haven't found a complete one for my undertail.
Here's one guide I found for a different undertail, but if it's not the same type as yours then your install may be different.

I mounted my undertail first, but the screws don't match up, so I zip-tied it. It's easy enough to put the tail section on over the undertail; I haven't tried, but I imagine it'd be easier than trying to stuff the undertail into the tail section.
I have a Bestem undertail, though, not a hotbodies.

The lock is on the shifter side, near the license plate ridge.
I'm not sure about the lights - I haven't gotten it wired up yet.
The fit is pretty bad - at least 1/2" off (total) on the sides. It fits OK under the tail section, but it doesn't look as flush as the hotbodies pictures. If it weren't $100 less than the next cheapest undertail I could find, I'd have returned it and been more aggravated.

I just put on a Bestem fiberglass undertail today. Took me 6 hours including web searches and fumbling with a dozen little aggravations along the way. The holes definitely don't line up but I managed to get 3 out of 4 lined up close enough to get the plastic clips inserted. To do so, I cut off the tabs on the stock undertray that have the holes for the plastic clips. That way I only had to line up the tail fairing holes with the new undertail instead of trying to match up all three pieces (fit is super tight so I don't have any worries about it falling apart).
The undertail didn't ship with any instructions or any direction on how to get instructions but google found me this:

Probably one of the worst instructions I've ever encountered. It literally tells you nothing about how to install it, just a few general statements about what's involved. Only thing it really helped me with was identifying the wires which I'd already half figured out by that point.
Btw, how are you guys dealing with the license plate light if any? Doesn't look like there are any good spots to mount it without it sticking out like a sore thumb.
