I don't think I've seen shore power inlets installed in the the corner of the back bumper so here is how I did mine. My setup is a little different in that I have a 30 amp and a 15 amp connection in the rear and I'll be adding a 15 amp in the front bumper. The 30 amp in the rear and the 15 amp in the front feed the inverter/charger. The 15 amp in the rear is only for powering my roof A/C unit. It feeds to a cam switch that lets me switch between powering the A/C with that connection or the inverter. The goal of this is to be able to able to plug in the 30 amp and the 15 amp at the same time to run the A/C while charging the battery bank at 150 amps. During the day I have shore power available for a few short periods so I want to make the very most of it for charging my batteries. Anyway, just heading off questions about why I have a second connection versus using a 30 amp to 15 amp adapter.
I removed the driver's side rear bumper cover and the vent behind it. There is an opening in the body big enough to feed a 3/4in flexible conduit up to the removable vent cover inside.
The key to this location is that to get enough depth for the inlets I used they need to line up with the vent opening. The 15 amp is pretty easy but the 30 amp only has about 1/8th of clearance. Since I needed to have both I had to trim a little out of the top of the vent.
