the diagram only shows the rear triangle. does the same go for the fork as well?

For flat mount fork, you simply need to measure the thickness of the caliper mounting base and add 6-10mm.

Flat mount rear bolts go through the chainstay and thread into the caliper body or caliper body 160mm adapter if you're using one of those.
Flat mount front bolts go through the eyelette of the caliper body or the 160mm adapter if you're using one of those, and into the threaded insert for the fork.
