This one is not that hard.

Just measure the distances, taking care to do it accurately.

It is easy to measure to the 32cnd of an inch, and that is plenty
close.

You have to have a place to start measuring from. Your shingles
probably have uneven edges. So take a fine marker and create very
small dots or x's on surrounding shingles. Measure from there to the
screwholes. Put your *** metal down and measure again.
