if you take a look at the actuator and the truck latch it'll be clear that there's hook on one side to rap around the lip and a bolt on the other side

and I found this method, you just need a zip tie instead of a bolt....:rofl:

There's a flap that you need to bend in on the trunk lid. If you fit the solenoid up behind the latch, line up the bolt holes, and you'll see.
Remove this flap for the lever to fit into latch.
