might be best to snag a picture somewhere locally, since "everyone" has it done.

i think what you're talking about just uses zip ties to make the plate stay in place.

or you want to set plate under upper bumper lip to slant down to touch lower bumper lip (not hanging from upper bumper lip)???

what I did... just flip the plate holder upside down and use these...



if you want to angle it sloping inward... pull back plate to get desired rake/angle

here you go... raked it in "temporarily" with with a wire-tie (will replace with zip tie) just enough to level with the lower lip around 25-30° guesstimate
