The 4-Terminal Relays, # TR38665, will install with the flat part of the terminals facing the larger relays in spots # 30B and # 30D. Check out the video that I have attached showing where and how to install these relays. You will notice that the vehicle in the video is a 2008 Mercury Mariner, but the installation will be the exact same with your 2008 Ford Escape. You can see the relay installation starting at the 1 minute and 15 second mark.
You will need three of these relays. They will install in the relay locations # 31C, # 31D and # 31E. You can identify these positions with the legend on the inside of the lid for the power distribution box or with your owners manual. I have also edited the photo you submitted to show the relay locations as well.
