I found one other installation guide besides this one; it's a PDF; looks kind of official. It references a few seemingly non-essential parts e.g. brackets that were not in the kit I purchased; those same parts would seem to be missing from the kit used for this guide. I referenced both guides for the install, although this one was a lot more useful.

There may be one step missing from this guide. At the bottom of the PDF I mentioned, there's a section for "vehicles with sports package", with instructions for four-fin and three-fin grills. There are two blind rivet nuts in the kit. I don't fully understand the instructions hence why I used this guide instead but my hunch is that the blind rivet nuts support the lights from behind, acting as a horizontal pillar between the face of the grill and the back of the light housing. This would prevent the lights from being pushed back by winds at high speed, which should reduce stress on the mounting brackets.

Am I on the right track with this?

Any chance you could share the PDF in this forum post? I would like to see the the instructions. I can better answer your question once I see them.
