Phil in the first pic you put your positive connection, from the charger, on the blade that sticks up in the middle of the black plastic terminal block. All three of those bolts you see in your top picture are positive connections.
In the second pic you put the negative terminal,from your charger, on the copper colored post to very right top side of the strut tower.

The permanent loop hole connection I unscrew the gold bolt put the loop down then re screw for the negative but was unsure which three of the bolts on the terminal cover to use as some has thicker cable running to it than others. I can use eitheir of them 3 bolts to put the positive loophole connection onto then? I may use the middle on as that has the positive blade terminal at the side of it.

Yes when I looked under the hood today I thought wtf its totally different! Strange as the only difference is mine is RHD so ive just used the clips for now and its on the long step 3 charge.
My tuner seems to think its the middle bolt next to the terminal clamp but until I visit them again in the future ill leave it for now. I have just read too it only goes onto the trickle charge after its done the float charge (step 7) for 10 days!
Use the one next to the blade for power.

You can use any of the three bolts, whichever is most convenient for you to run the wires for the positive terminal. The negative can connect under the copper post or with a group of brown ground wires as mentioned by bhamg.
