Pad and any carpet over the pad goes on first and valve goes over that with only the pipes sticking thru. If you made your own padding make sure it is roughly the same thickness as the old pad or if thicker, cut and taper enough away in that area so the hard part of the pad rests directly on the mounts. Too thick a pad will not allow the tubes to stick out far enough on the engine side and getting the hoses on enough to clamp properly will be an issue.
That layout is one of the downsides on a Packard install because if the valve starts leaking it will saturate and then run under the carpet. You will not know there is a leak unless you can actually smell the coolant or it gets so bad water starts dripping out of a body bolt hole and you see the puddle on the floor under the passenger seat.
