Default Fitting ellectric windows

I've bought some electric window actuators to fit in my 3 door mk4 Escort which currently has manual winders which don't work. I can't figure out how they how to fit them, I can't quite see which screw holes they're meant to align with. Would anybody happen to have a picture on some fitted to help me out?

I forgot to post a reply to my own thread after I figured it out after a few times of trying. The motors I bought had no indication which side was which, what made it confusing to me is that I expected the motors to go on the inside but they go on the outside.

To any random searchers looking for pictures like I was I hope these help you. Note that my Escort isn't a fancy model and didn't have the loom behind the dash. I had to make it myself so that will explain the odd looking cables.

Ignore the connector. I just put it there to get and idea. The cable should run on the door card side. You can see the olld manual gears in there. Drill out those rivets.
