[Solved] Where do I put the wires that used to go on the gnd and vcc pads?

I installed the battery monitor board, and I have no idea where to put the wires that were supposed to go on the vcc and gnd pads. Yes, I watched the guide. Yes, I watched the battery monitor board installation guide. But wermy never even said where to put the wires that were supposed to go on the pads.
Edit: I changed the wording of the original post because I feel that I wasn't specific. If you look at the replies, dryja123 was of absolutely no help. Thats why I changed it.
Edit: Why do I make a fool out of myself whenever I ask for help?

What wires are you trying to connect to where?
If you haven't already, watch Wermy's guide:

The guide isnt updated to use the battery monitor board. All the wires were meant to go to the vcc and ground pads, but they are taken up. Where do I connect the wires instead?

Wermy posted a battery power install guide as well:

I watched that. I followed it. He never specified where the wires go. I just want a guide showing me where to put the wires.
Edit: I am subscribed to his youtube channel. I dont know how to put this together without his help.

You obviously did not watch the battery monitor video. Start watching at 1:29. He shows you where to connect the wires to and from the GPIO port and at 1:57 He shows you how to connect power (vcc) and ground.
Also, I would recommend doing some digging on the forums. There is a thread dedicated to how to wire everything up and several support thread with pictures.
Edit: I don't know why you updated your original post saying I was of no help. You didn't provide enough information for anyone to provide you any help. You later specified that you needed help installing the battery monitor board, I shared the install video with you.
