Not sure what you mean, no pictures that I can see in your post: Confused:......
What I did is pictured in stages in the thread. The only brackets are in the top of the hatch frame and screws go into those from the inside as shown in my photos. Easily accessed with headrest raised and flap/curtain below unclipped.
The cutout I made, using the removed metal panel as a template, is exactly the same as shown in your photo, just a couple of mm smaller all round the main section.
Except I then, for simplicity, enlarged it by 30mm (as noted) along the top edge to clear the brackets AND the two BIG bolts (probably FL only) securing the seat back.
