Although we do not have the instructions for the Replacement Controlled Motion Hinge for RV Entry Door # LC95VR that you mention I was able to get in contact with Lippert, and they were able to send over the instructions.

The instructions are as follows:

1.Find the center between the existing top hinge and the middle hinge and middle hinge and bottom hinge on the
outer frame and mark this spot.

2. Next, Spread open the hinge leafs 1, 3 and 5 that attach to the outer frame from leafs 2 and 4 that attach to the core of the door far enough for installation on the door.

3. Then, use the template and instructions to mark or pre-drill the locations for the additional fastener holes
required for leafs 1, 3 and 5.

4. Continue by finding the center on the hinge, and place it on the center mark made on the outer frame between the top and middle hinges, making sure to use the proper leafs for the outer frame.

5. Now, screw the hinge to the outer frame through the existing hole on leafs 1, 3 and 5 using the 1 3/4" fasteners.

6. Moving on, screw the additional required fasteners in leafs 1, 3 and 5 to the outer frame using the pre-drilled holes or marked locations from the template.

7. Now, repeat steps 2 to 6 for the second friction hinge, which is installed between the middle and bottom existing hinges and screw leafs 2 and 4 to the core of the door on both hinges.

8. Finally, once all leafs are installed, test the function of the door.

I have also attached the instructions so you can check those out as well.
