I damaged the right floor panel, went over a curb so I need to jack the car to inspect and possibly replace the panel. I'm not really sure where to place the jack stand without damaging the car, any suggestions?

There are actually arrows pointing inwards at the center of the jack point. All Lexus's cars should have them under there. See the above picture already posted and you'll see what I'm referencing.

There's not enough room on the same rail, if I jack the rear side, then I can only put the stand on the front side. Since I already have a jack, I'm thinking maybe I should invest in wheel ramps?

Yea that's where I'm jacking the car. Another general challenge is that I noticed that the rail won't touch the arm's bottom part of the 'V'. The top of the 'V' will be holding up the car instead, but if you see in this picture, it is touching plastic! I know as soon as the car sits on the stand, the plastic will crack. I've never had these issues with Toyota or Honda before.

In the manual it states to put the floor jacks either on the front or rear but I just want to be able to swap my wheels lifting little from each corner.

that pinch/seam is used for the scissor jack when youre on the side of the road with a flat/similar so if you damage it you wont be able to use the scissor jack safely
