Did your diff not come with a drain port? Or do you need to remove the cover to install the plate?

No drain holes from 21+ model years. It is possible to install the skid plate without removing the diff cover.

Is it just the photo or is there some rough edges on the gears?
It’s just the photo. I inspected the gears after cleaning, gears were in great shape. Even the old fluid looked surprisingly clean!!
I reused the gasket.

That is great news to hear, I have not changed my fluid yet maybe in another 10,000 miles.
