12V front accessory socket install experience?

Hi ATV experts,

Does anybody have experience installing this socket on a 2013 or later Rancher?

It installs on the front cover here:

The installation instructions from Honda, saysto remove a whole bunch of plastics but, it seems to me that its doable in-place, and I’d like to avoid taking off everything if possible.

Has anybody installed this plug while the in place on the front cover? Or am I nuts for not following the specific installation instructions?

Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
