Check out the Horizontal reference line (15) what is the location? The chrome side molding or a sheet metal crease?

Ends up you know the distance between the holes it about it.
You are better off to locate the top of the side molding with the tail light and use that.
Be sure your bed is lined up with the cab and run a tap line all the way front to back.

I had the same issue with the tail light bezel. I got it but it took awhile. I taped around the perimeter of the bezel and then used a felt pen to mark out the position of the bezel.
Then marked the holes on the tape.

Touch up the drilled holes with some paint before installing the clips. Try the clips in the holes before mounting them on the trim to be sure they fit in the holes, quality control it terrible and varies by manufacture. Sometimes greasing the clips before installing is required.
Cheers.
Super thanks.
Gonna test fit everything before paint.
