The one on the left looks as if it's for the fuel lines but where does it attach? And the thing on the right, no idea!

The left hand one is for the fuel lines. On my cab is attached to the lomg metal bracket the loom is also connected to running under the inlet manifold. The other I have seen on a coolant pipe but mine is not connected to anything else.

That makes sense. Does it bolt to the stud on the left of the bracket that holds the loom?

It does on mine but there's no guarantee that's where it's supposed to be.
