Here is where the 1-pin plug socket is located. It is right under the PCV. This picture was taken from the passenger's side.

It was easier to install the 1-pin plug from the passenger's side.

It was now time to install the other plugs holders.

I placed the 10mm nut on the double-bolt, installed the first few threads until it's flush and held it tight onto the magnetic pen head.

Next I wrapped tape around it to hold it even tighter so that it does not detach. I also placed some rope on the other end of the magnetic pen head and secured it too with tape.

I attached the other end of the rope to one of the brake lines. This is to ensure it does not fall down as space is limited and this is tricky.

I managed to insert the bolt in the lower wider black plug holder hole.

Then I managed to place the upper green and gray plug holder onto it.

I managed to gently lift the whole set and install the tip of the bolt in the cylinder head thread dedicated for it.

I screwed the bolt in by hand as much as I could.

Once it felt tight, I pulled the magnetic pen head out.

I removed the tape at the tip of the magnetic pen head and used it to help unscrew the nut and take it out.

I used a long 10 mm socket attached to my small 1/4" wrench to tighten the double bolt to about 9 Nm. Now both plug holders are held tight.
