Default Side steps installed....

Guys,

I have a tough time to find the way to install the side steps (nerd-bars) to the car. The instruction just said "mount to the girder" and i tried to put up, down, back and forth. I still could not figure out where to mount the brackets.
Does any one have this install? Can i have some hints or pictures?

I did tried to email the customer service but no reply.

Thanks so much.

P.S: The rear bumper guard has a clear instruction but not these.

Default Side Steps

I didnt install my side steps. But have your tried putting one of them on the other side? They may look the same. But it may be a left and a right.

Did the installation require any cutting into the body or guard? Interested in doing but worry about damaging the car.
