Grabbed a bottle of UV leak detection fluid from a mate, having cleaned up the underside with some degreaser.

Was hoping someone could help me understand what the two “holes” are on the photos attached.
These are captured from a video I took underneath when I was looking for something else.
Appreciate...
I’ve been gifted a 1m roof light bar but without any brackets.
Does anyone have examples of how the same type of light bars have been fitted, conscious that it’s not the full roof width.
