For those two hoses, you just have to connect them to the cooler and the sandwhich plate right? or is it like the hose that connects to the right side of the cooler has to be connect to the right side of the sandwhich plate?

Yes. It's just a loop. Matters not which hose goes where..

thanks for your help, but i have another question, I saw there are holes drilled on the bottom of the cooler already, can i just use those holes, or do i have to have a bracket made. I'm asking this because I have never make a bracket before, and if i can just use those holes on the cooler it will make the job a lot easier.

You need to raise it a bit so the undertray and front bumper will mount without interference. If you choose to put the fittings on the top rather than the bottom you could possibly get away without a bracket. Honestly though, it's a very simple thing to make..

what are the dimensions for that bracket, how thick is it, and what material is it made of? I'm asking this because I can't find any metal plate lying around at my house, so i have to order one.
