Replacing trunk light with 24 led board

Hey guys I'm in the process of changing out lights in my car with leds. I've already done the side markers, map lights, door lights, license plate and now I'm doing trunk/clearance strip. I bought a 24 led board to put in the trunk, but I'm wondering what's the best way to stick a board up in that spot.

I'm also wondering what in the world the 1st part on the left is for? I know the 3rd of the right is the adapter, but what is the 1st?

Any help would be appreciated thanks!

I just used double sided tape and taped on the sides (i have 2 6 led boards) of the dome. no way itll fit inside. you cant tell by any means that it's not inside the dome. at least not on mine.

oh and the left is also an adapter...just a different fitment...

The part on the left would be used if you were installing them in your map lights or door.

Yea no way my board is fitting inside. I took the bottom piece of the plastic bulb dome out, but it's needed for the light bulb to sit in.
I should have thought 'hey I can just tape this up there next to the dome and it'll shine down all right', I guess I'm used to replacing bulbs ha. I might tape the top piece against the wall and stick the board on top of the bottom piece?

Here some some pictures of my leds by the way.

I used Jay Diem's J62 Polarg 6000k bulb for my license plate, VLED high power 5000ks for my interior lights, and superbrightleds for my amber bulbs in the clear corners. Very bright!
