[Roadsters] Carpet Install Question

I ordered a carpet kit from Les and can't out make head nor tails out
of it. Even my wife, who's very good at jigsaw puzzles, drew a blank.
I should be able to talk to Les Monday, but I need to get the car
drivable before then because I have an appointment on Monday to get
the exhaust done.

The kit has 5 pieces. The largest is shaped a bit like a manta ray
with a split tail. and two smaller roughly square pieces (baby
mantas?) I'm thinking the large piece has to go under the dash and
along the driveline tunnel, but I can't figure out how (no bound holes
for the shift lever or E-Brake handle), and I think the smaller pieces
go under the seats?

Then there are two long rectangular pieces (one with a heel pad -
driver's side obviously) that have to go in the footwells, but they
just don't seem to fit regardless of how I put them in.

The bag it all came in had a sticker that read 6870 Datsun Roadster so
I'm thinking it's the correct kit. It's got to be (inexperienced)
installer error.

Any ideas?
