How to apply a one piece device?

I’ve always used a two piece system, I stand at the bathroom sink which has a huge mirror.
Apply the seal to the convex wafer then the wafer over my stoma then the belt attaches to the wafer and finally attach pouch which is opaque.
So how the heck do you apply an opaque one piece if you can’t see your stoma?
I have a bunch of old Hollister’s transparent pouches which have a karaya ring. I add an Eakin seal over the karaya and am able to center it because it’s relatively transparent. I woud wear these constantly if they stayed leak free for three days but alas they start to leak after about 12 to15 hours. They are easy on the skin because they are all paper except for the seal which adds a bit of convexity.
