There is a lower bolt on the inside of the housing, one bolt on top of the housing, and two nuts visible after removing the cornering lamp screw and assembly.

I don't have a means(or know how) to send a diagram. Which fasteners have you got, which ones are you looking for? Have you removed the cornering lamp lens.

There is only one screw for the cornering lamp, it comes down from the top in the cavity where it and the headlight meet. I believe it is an e-torx fastener requiring a special socket. Some sizes will fall to a 6-point socket though, usually SAE, with a try if that is all you have.
