Hey John,
I guess there really isn't any easy way to do what you want to do. however it's no more than cutting the inst.'s individually and installing them into the opening. What works for me is to carefully cut around and thru the decal film with a #11 blade and leave it on the backing. Then, cut the inst. away from the others in such a way that you have something to grab with tweezers. Soak for a couple of seconds, and when it's loose you can separate the inst. from the backing. I like to use a couple of fine paint brushes to push the tiny decal onto the tip of the other. Put a drop of micro-set in the opening, and slide the decal into position using the other brush. Just take your time and work your way around the IP untill you're done. Make sure you have the inst. oriented correctly and not sideways or upside down. After a drop of micro-sol, the decals will sink right into the face of the dials. Coax them down if you must with a cotton swab, followed by a drop or two of future to simulate a glass face.
Hope this helps. The key is take your time and carefull cutting....patience
