Default Is There a Trick to Lining Up the Factory Style Spoiler Using Double-sided Tape?

I bought a factory style rear spoiler and I'm not planning to drill holes to install it. I'm going to use the 3M double sided tape to install it.

I want to make sure I line it up and get it centered properly the first time. Trying to avoid a situation where it's crooked and I have to remove it and re-install which could get messy with that super sticky adhesive. Since it's mounted on a corner with double sided tape on both sides, it looks to be tricky to line it up properly the first time around. Is there a trick to this? Thanks

You can buy a template from Lexus if you want it to be perfect (I don't think it would cost too much) or you can just get another person to help but it's just judgement then.

Sewell Lexus out of Dallas/Fort Worth sells the template new or used. I believe they also offer a discount to forum members. I used the double sided tape but with an adhesive promoter.
