Steering Rack Spacers Location
I will look for a photo, however, behind the engine on the frame, there is an aluminum housing in which is about 3 ft long. It travels from the driver side to the passenger side, it is gray in color.
There is 2 bolts holding it down to the black frame. Remove the 2 bolts, lift up the steering rack, put 1 spacer in between the frame and the rack, and re install the bolt, repeat for the 2nd location/bolt.

^^^ good advice. Torque value is 81 ft lbs. Its important to get the steering rack properly positioned or your steering wheel will be off center. TTR copied these spacers from my parts, so they should fit.
be cautious that the rack does not hit the motor mount with spacers. If you do not have a rotated mount with a spacer to match or a mount with smaller overall dimensions, there is a risk that the rack will hit the mount and could result in damage to the rack housing .

the indent is not needed, I made some rack spacers like that once, which TTR copied. They are wrong. FYI.
the rack sits on a flat cradle does not need a recess. In fact the steering rack bushing in the rack mount bolt housing itself will not function correctly if you use that spacer.

Keiser, you got them from TTR so go with that. TTR can tell you. We make different spacer thickness for different drops. If the rear mount is too thick or not raised, the rack will hit the rear mount if its spaced up too much.

Question on this, my ESC service and ESC turns off now that I put on rack spacers. Is something wrong
***Edit***
I reset the error code with the battery cable pull. All is great and I've driven 30 miles so far with no issues or code return
