Going from memory:

Only tourers have the bracket?
The wire plug is not needed and can be zip tied in back of the filter.
The plugs will be pretty snug but do function as a pressure release. a little oil will occasionally seep from them.

hope this helps

The plugs on mine fit pretty snug. Never had any oil seep out.

The plugs should be snug and not leak. There are holes from the breather bolts to the main intake tube for pressure control and for any oil coming through the bolts to be drawn into the throttle body. If they leak, the rubber O-rings aren't fitting properly or you forgot to rub some oil on them before installing them.
