Default 1979 driver dr. Harness routing!!!!

Hello to all. Again THANK YOU ALL for all the help I have gotten. (Just putting this out there )
the wireing for drivers door runs along door seal and then turns to go up inside kick panel to fuse box etccc. According to AIM sec12H-15. It just gets bent and put up in kick panel area. Well then your plastic kick panel lays in there all warped and looks like poop! So am I missing something here??? I am doing interior and when routing this bundle it seamed you me there should be a half moon knot heaven to allow the harness to lay rite?? Well I straightened the existing kick panel with heat gun and weights. Was not about to put it back in being bent up. I know I should not have but I drilled 3/4” hole in front of body mount and made it smooth as baby’s but then sealed all area and added a extra clamp to hold harness in place. Lays in there really nice. I don’t ever plan on racing this car or driving
like mad max so I don’t think I weakens the bird cage area. Here’s some picks. I know someone else has done this. ??? Maybe?

Really hard to see notched area. Sorry should have photoed before sealing😡



Pointing to where I notched.



after I got the response I orderd the Willcox AIM BUUUUT the harness that comes from the tail lights t tops anti theft runs along the drivers door seal plate. I don’t see it in this response. Any how my bad left this part out of original post
