Red face GLS63 Correct emblem/badge placement

Anyone mind doing me a favor and providing measurements to show correct OEM badge/emblem placement on a GLS63?

- Rear trunk AMG emblem
- Rear trunk GLS 63 emblem
- Fender V8 Biturbo emblem

Shop that took off the emblems off my 2019 didn't make a template for the location, and now they're noticeably off location-wise. I'm particular and want them mounted back in as close to OEM location as possible. Would greatly appreciate the help

TIA!

I think they swapped the AMG and GLS badges around (AMG is on the left and GLS is on the right) on the FL, but I think the trunk and emblem location is otherwise the same. So yea, I'd def appreciate it if you don't mind providing that info!

Happy to pay $20 for your time. Would save me a lot of headache of trying to find a local one at a dealership to try and measure while being harassed by the salesmen...

GLS63 x167
Bumping up this old topic in the event someone has made these measurement for the emblems on a GLS63?
I'm guessing the left/right measurements of the fender emblem offsets are symmetrical so just 2 measurements (A-height & B-offset from edge) from 1 fender would help?
Likewise, guessing the left/right emblems on the rear emblem offsets are symmetrical so just need 2 measurements (D-height & C-offset from edge)

I'm a proud first-time Mercedes owner and recently got my GLS63 PPF'ed but they are taking so long to get new emblems, I'm tempted to just do it myself.
Unfortunately, I didn't take any of these measurements before I had the PPF done. Silly me for thinking most PPF places took notes of such things.

Thanks in advance to anyone who could help.
