I just got a kit to replace a ramp flap and plastic and it came with what I assume are grommets and a plastic tool, but I can’t figure out how to use them. Any help will be appreciated.

Really stumped here.

Quoted from TecumsehPlissken:

That's the kit for doing plastics without actually using the oval head flare grommets ... its an alternative type of set up... you lightly press/hammer them together & the retainer ring is supposed to hold it all together via compression... I have tried them & they work in some applications but not as good as original type

In what order would I stack them? Where would they each go in relation to the plastic/metal that they are sandwiching? (See numbered parts for reference)
Thanks!
