From what I remember, at least on the side pieces that the hole location is not super critical.  The trim clips move inside the trim so you can position them where you want them.  Here's some pictures of my 72, this might help.

The corner pieces as stated above don't really matter. If I remember correctly the trunk lid has indentations along the inside of the rear lip that sort of indicate where to drill the holes. Just center up the holes in the trim area.

You place the round end in the hole then hammer the pins in.
