Make sure you account for magnet polarization in the process, otherwise you could have one side attract, and the other expel.
I started with the magnets on the plate holder. That made it easier once the bumper was off, as I used it in front of the bumper to hold the magnets that would go into the inside of the bumper in place, and allowed for no mistakes on polarization. Cover the magnets on the plate holder with some felt pads to ensure it won't cause any scratches while in contact with the bumper.
I hardly ever put it on after all that work, but I also don't drive my beast daily.
