+1, except on the right footplate you're better with a short screw in the rear-most position due to a shallow hole depth.

Incomplete and not quite accurate:
Two of the "longest" screws (given that you have 2 lengths) go behind the mirrors, into the flat areas that "hang" the forward part of the tupperware.
The other two go into the dash panel, below the speaker locations.
The right rear footplate location hasn't been an issue for me.
On some oilheads, I've seen that the right rear hole along the top of the gas tank (rear-most of the three along the curve) may prefer a shorter screw, the ~ 1/2", due to either a lack of insert tap depth, or manufacturing tolerance buildup and/or plastic distortion over the years.
