The first image shows the hardware located every other hole with the top hole empty. But the green arrows in the second image, point to the other holes (vacant) for where to tighten the screws.
You don't have to remove the corner plates, especially if you carefully placed them earlier. Just remove the screws and nuts that are not used yet. Lower the extrusions straight down from the top, and then slide the nuts into the extrusions and line them up with the holes.
Since panel thicknesses can often be fairly different than the nominal stated dimension from the manufacturer, it's probably best to measure the 47mm from inside to inside of the extrusions as best you can (ignoring the panel). I understand the panel is in the way of the measurement, but you can still see where the extrusion ends, and this will be more accurate than using the nominal thickness of your panel. And you will likely have less problems later on as Thomas G points out above.
Thanks I missed that. I'm glad I asked the question so others won't miss that. Fortunately my bed was flat so I got away with it.
Clean the extrusion faces with alcohol and let dry before applying the foam seal to be sure you get the best adhesion.
Surprised to see no mention of attaching the heat pad or two part build surface here.
These should be pressed with the bearings first and then installed at the same time the lead screws are, before the rigid couplers are tightened.
Same problem here as in the previous step. The image showing where the hardware is located does not match up with the blue arrows.

I used 200N gas struts on the 500 vcore3 with separately purchased mounts. I used 4mm thick PC for my panels. See details here: https://discord.com/channels/58218737152...
ps Make sure the m5 nuts are in contact with the steel plate when done, if not you are too loose.
