Default 2011 IS trunk stuff questions

Ok I know odd questions but I've no clue how our trunks are supposed to be layed out. The dealership just stuffed everything into the back and that was that.
On the first 2 pics, there's a clip of some sort. It looks as if it goes on the end of something, & I've no clue.

Third & fourth pics look to be an oval access cover. Again, no clue where this goes.

5th pic, strap stuck to the driver's side plastic tray cover thingy-what's the strap for? Seems really random.

6th pic. More straps; two of them on the passenger side to be exact. Any specific reason? Seems really random lol.

7th & last pic, the spare tire pan. The square rubber bumper at the blue arrow was just sitting in the pan at about the 10 o'clock position. I placed it where I seen some faint signs of what I think was adhesive residue-was this the correct spot? The red arrow; seems to be a glued down hard foam "tire positioner" type thingy. It was loose as well, but chilling right around where you see it now. Is this the correct spot?

Thanks for all the help guys. I appreciate it.

EDIT: Found the place for the oval access port cover thingy; it's for access to what I'm assuming are the tail lights.

The straps are there to hold loose items.

First piece is a cover for the emergency release handle.

I use the strap on the left to hold the emergency kit, and the straps at the rear are for the emergency triangle, that said, it was only ever sold as an accessory in Japan, so everyone else is confused about why the straps are there, haha.

Wow, you know a lot of stuff about these cars. How long you been at it? And is there anyway I could get said triangle? And would you know about how the spare's supposed to go in? Also, the trunk light. Is it REALLY not automatic like everyone else's?
