The escutcheon for the window crank does not have a backing plate, you install the door panel, then push the escutcheon over the window crank shaft and install it behind the window crank. The tabs on that one are short and just dig into the fabric. Don't forget the spring between the door panel and the door at the window crank.
Check the parts supplier catalogues, they will give you some guidance.

so the spring goes between the door and the panel, and the Handle and lock escutcheon grabs only the fabric, not the door panel. What’s the trick for bending the tabs on the escutcheon which must apparently be installed after the panel is mounted?
