Default Rear Wheel Installation 2018 Heritage

In my excitement to install the lay down license plate holder and CD Led turn signals, I removed the rear tire so I could reach the bolts and run the wires. Now hours later I can't recall the proper sequence for the right side spacers and how to route the ABS sensor wire. I ordered the manual, but it's not coming until Feb 15th. Help brothers. I need a few pics for the R side spacers, and how to route the ABS wire off yours or a pic if someone has the manual.

Here is the assembly drawing from the 2018 manual.

Hope it is of use for you. Will try to get a good picture of the page with the torque values to reassemble it all.
Edit: easier this way: Rear axle nut: 95 - 105 ft-lbs

wait, its too late now but why didnt you just take the rear fender off instead off removing the wheel?
only 4 bolts holds the entire rear fender!

Honestly that idea never crossed my mind. I would have been afraid of scratching the paint anyway.

I toughed it out by leaving everything in tact and sticking my hand/arm between tire and fender. Was it tight? Yes. Was it at times painful....yes. But it worked.
