I got my 90D last week and haven't come across the bag. Not in glove compartment. Is it stashed somewhere else?

I just don't see how this holster thing is better than a simple USB cable plug in. You can't charge your phone the moment you pick it up. Obviously, no driver would ever text, facebook, or go online during autopilot because both hands are always holding the steering wheel ... but, just in case, if the front passenger wants to use my phone to do so, it will be unplugged.

A - is the plug in USB and wire tucked into hole.
B - is where the charge thingy comes out.
Need a very thin phone cover. See my post on Console IPhone -https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/new-console-phone-charger.71677/

The guides are not installed in that picture..They do not hold the phone from moving backwards during a launch but do put the "blind" in the feature name.
The slots for fasteners in the base of the part with the Lightning plug allow for some adjustment to accommodate thicker phones/cases. See the pic in Blind Holster for phone The plug can be secured more towards the rear of the car, leaving room for a thicker phone back.

My DS said it only comes with PUP. Maybe they will sell the packages at some point and we can self install.

Based on the SKU shown in the photo, I called my parts department and they quoted $50 for it. (Cheaper than going full PUP...)
SKU is XX41392

I ended up buying the 29.99 ProCLip mount so I can see my phone when I need to - mainly for Waze alerts. You basically buy the clip on mount and then pick out a phone holder. I already had a holder (Arkon) from my other car and ended using that. Almost any holder will work on this mount (plenty on amazon) the key is the mount that clips onto the S or X. Link: www.proclipusa.com/dashboard-mounts/vehicle/tesla/x/2016.cmsv
Remember that the 29.99 is just the clip mount (upper left in picture) you still need a phone holder that will attach to the mount.
This does not damage your dash. Just a clip with a rubber strip insert that is designed specially for the Model X (and the S) . So far works great.

I installed my iphone connector holster last night but I have no clue what the 4 clips are for - they are numbers 1 thru 4.

Post a picture of how it looks, it might be fine and you just have extra parts.

Ahh. Got it. Why 4 though? Really wish Tesla had engineered for phones with cases. I will probably go with some kind of elastic band to keep my phone in the holster area when accelerating since bolsters only work without cases.
I got these "Dock Extenders" so I could plug the phone in without removing the Otter case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015THTHZC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My naked iPhone 5s is only guided to the pin by the bolsters, they do not hold it in place from swinging aft during acceleration. The inner edges of the bolsters touch the sides of the phone, they do not overlap it. Maybe the 6 is wide enough and thin enough to fit behind the flanges. Would someone with a 6 report on this, please?

The side bolsters are designed for the iphone 6 and 6 plus... the narrower ones for the 6 plus and the wider ones for the 6... Likely other phones will fit with one or the other, but they clearly sizes them with the iphone in mind. Took me a few minutes to figure out that you just slide in the bolsters and they "latch" in place. Not really that secure but seems fine with daily use so far.
Regarding the numbers, they are likely stamps for which cavity the of the tool the part came from during molding...

You know you can adjust how far the port is away from the wall of the dock? Check out this video where someone swaps out the micro-USB for a USB-C, and you'll see how you can adjust it:

You could install the USB one and then just keep an adapter that coverts to Lightning, Something like this:
