This view is from the swingarm, inside the frame. He’s saying that Kawasaki only mounted the footrest brackets to one layer so there is nothing on the back side of the frame there. Ignore the rearset adjuster/relocator plate… it mounts the same place as the footrest brackets originally did.
It is a little weird that Kawasaki would specifically bulk that area of the frame up and then neglect to use that extra strength for the footrest bracket mount. Perhaps their engineers had a reason, like they’d rather the mount bend in a crash than the frame (MUCH easier to fix).
