So I bought this set of repro brackets to use on my scratch built cabinet (using classicarcadecabinents.com CNC plans).

I am not sure which piece goes where, other than the trim piece that goes on the control panel (which unfortunately does not line up with the holes on my control panel edge).

Can someone point me in the right direction here?

This is how mine is setup.

I will have to remove a few things to see where those other pieces go.

Bottom one I believe is the coveted "end of the cp lip" that bolts onto the back of the CP to give it a kick up to prevent shit from dropping down in the game (quarters bitd maybe spilled drinks etc)

So it bolts under the CP and not on top of it, correct?
 
I've watched a complete cabinet teardown on youtube, and I am pretty convinced the order below is correct. The bottom marquee in this video and in still photos I've looked at are secured by 4 carriage bolts.
The top plexi bracket (inside the cabinet) is held down by two wingnuts in the same video (and only has two holes in it) and also in still photos I've found, but none of these brackets have only two holes, so they were reproduced incorrectly as far as hole placement is concernedl (just as the control panel piece was).
The classicarcadecabinet plans show this placement as well.

The one that you have listed as the BOTTOM MARQUEE does Not have the correct angle to fit correctly.

It's all about the angles on these brackets.

The only way it might fit is if the reproduction cabinet is not using the same angles as the original but the bolts going into the bottom of the marquee do not have square, countersink heads which that bracket is made for.

And I agree with that because it's 90 degrees. The only reason I have it designated as such is because it's the only one (besides the control panel trim) that has 4 carriage bolt type holes in it, like the front of my cabinet does on the lower wall of the marquee box. It'd be nice if the guy who did the reproduction brackets would respond to my inquiry, but his track record of answering questions from me is dismal.
