Not quite sure just what you are asking…  It is easier to get the new plug leads inserted into the coils first, before clamping the leads under the mag plate.  Temporarily fasten the coils to the mag plate with the new leads installed, then flip the mag plate over and install all the wire clamps/throttle arms etc.  Yes, this is a bit of a wrestling match for sure.  Do be careful fastening the clamps with the mag plate flipped, you don’t want to damage the coils.  You could always just get a few clamps started, the remove the coils again, so you can tighten down all the wiring clamps and arms securely without damaging the coils.
