You don't need a back plate for the fuel senders. Just tap the holes and screw
it onto the tank. I used something called "sealube" from aircraft spruce on the
tank fittings as well as the screws that hold the senders on. It is like a thick
paste which does not harden, and is not soluble in gas. As far as the bend
for the floats, it is approximately a 90 deg bend but takes a little trial and
error to get right. I actually mounted mine with the floats facing back toward
the inboard end of the tank to better measure fuel from 1/2 full to empty.
Because of the slope of the tank in the wing, putting them the other way will
read empty when there is still 4-5 gallons of fuel in the tank. I am attaching
a photo of how I bent one of the senders. It is not pretty, but it works.

Yeah, probably finessing the darn sender in and out of the tank 20 times getting
the bend right.
