Default Installing Motherwell rack question

Just got a 7" matte black Motherwell solo rack.

No instructions. Now, I know it's fairly obvious how to install it, but:

-- the front lip, does it go under or over the seat's lip? Does it even matter? I put it over the seat, since with the seat lip on top the seat wiggled a bit.

-- it came with a screw, a metal washer, a plastic washer, and a square piece of peel-and-stick foam with a hole in it. I put the foam under the rear mounting hole of the rack, which seems right. I also put the metal washer above the rack, right under the screw head. What's the plastic washer for?

Thanks.

Plastic washer goes on top of rack under the metal washer at the rear. Everything else you did just right.
