Waterproofing

What is everyone doing to make the wire harness fit and be waterproof with the included bag , all my wires didn’t fit. now I have a few still exposed. Then the headlight hits my wire harness and messing with how I have to install the light do y’all think a headlight from the Templar x fit the Templar m.

I've used clear spray paint in the past with great success.
