Default Quick help with carpet installation

How do I wrap the piece that goes behind the seats? This 'leather' piece, does it ride the top of the panel? Go behind it? In front? This is the only non formed piece, so I have no clue how it's supposed to sit.
Any info would be great!!

The part that folds over the back is held down and tucked under the front of the compartment frame.

Usually it's tucked into that groove and you wouldn't see the binding, (I'm not actually sure if mine even had binding there) what year?

That seems to have helped, thanks! But is this part just supposed to sit out like it is now or is it supposed to be turned under the wheel well pieces, etc.... Thanks!

Any section with binding is intended as a visible edge. The way you have it in the pic looks correct.
