So I bought 4 new EcoTech, but either I am missing something or I did not order something I needed. I planned to mount these hanging in my canopy.

Here what I bought for mounting, but I don't understand how I am supposed to attach the cable to the canopy?

Also do I need to use two cables to mount the 70.5 inch track or do I need to use four cables. I bought 2 kits that both have 2 cables in it
Multi-Light RMS Mounting
EM01164 EcoTech Marine RMS XR717 Hanging Kit (2 kits)
EM23044 EcoTech Marine Multi-Light RMS XR15 Slide
EM70307 EcoTech Marine Multi-Light RMS 70.5 Inch Track

Please help I am feeling bit lost how I mount it to the top of my wood canopy.

Thanks
 
So I'm taking it you have radion xr15? Or radion xr30?

Anyways the slides should mount to your radions. Then slide the radions onto the rail. The hanging kit is to independently mount the radions via hanging from the ceiling or some type of solid horizontal fixture. These are independent from the rail. You could simply either buy 2 more hanging kits, or 2 more slides. But if you have xr30s you need the xr30 slides.
 
Optionally you could drill some holes into the rail for attachment of the cables or mounting to the canopy. Ensure you got some ventilation.
 
You need the rms hanging kit,it has 2 aluminium blocks that slide into the channel on the top of the rms track.
There are 2 different types of hanging kit
 
Thanks everyone, I was making it way more complex than I needed to. I watched a few videos online and got some simple ideas and I am all set now.
