Comparing Outside-Corner Plates and Hardware Bundles
I joined the light-bar beam to the rack with drilled connectors.
I kept the M5 and quarter-twenty attachment points separate.
Starting bolts required keeping the small slot nuts in position.

My Takeaway from This Job
Connector shape and fastener access both affected the roof assembly. These Befenybay and Boeray options provide flat five-hole L-plates; the third kit also groups screws and slot nuts for the corner.
Compare plate shape and the accompanying fasteners separately.

The five-hole L plate spans the outside face of an extrusion corner. Mark the plate outline on the frame drawing so each hole can be matched with a slot-nut position. The joint also needs a route for inserting the nuts and reaching the screw heads during assembly. For a van frame or cabinet support, keeping those details with the selected plate helps distinguish this flat outside connection from a right-angle bracket fitted between two faces.
