You are installing a 6 piece kit for the Fuji 690 II
This light seal kit includes,
bottom channel seal, camera body – 1 x 1mm

bottom channel seal, back cover – 1 x 3mm
top channel seal, back cover – 1 x 3mm
hinge seal, camera body – 1 x 3mm

I could not locate my GSW690 II so I made a placement guide using the 690 III. Placement is the same. The back cover cover for the model II does not have the outside plastic at the latch end like the model III. I will correct the pics soon.

General Installation guide for the Fuji GW690-II GSW690-II
First you need to remove the latch end baffle plate to replace the seal on that plate. Three screws visible at the latch end of the rear cover.
Also easier to remove/replace the top and bottom channel seals as you get to that end of the back cover while that plate is removed.
Tech Note:
To prevent damage to the Phillips screw drive, using a screwdriver made for Japanese camera screws is required. Known as JIS (Japanese Industry Standard) and JCIS ( Japanese Camera Industry Standard. Japanese camera Phillips screws are absolutely different from other Phillips screws. Other screwdrivers sized 00 and 000 will fit, eventually, they will damage the screw head as the Non-JCIS screwdriver tip will generally bottom out in the screw head before full contact is made with the drive of the screw. Just FYI. Many camera screws are bonded in place on professional cameras.
Lastly, it is much easier to replace the seals on the back cover with it removed from the camera body. Dis-assembly is required. You might want to remove the top cover. Though you will have to remove all the TC screws. You will have to remove the left front cover to access the door hinge screws. I will write that process if I get enough requests. Let me know.
