I used pipe hangers upside down screwed into the rear of the wood and hung the frame to gutter. To my surprise when testing I learned a side effect using these was the weight of the frame/wood (3/8' exterior ply) forced the frame to the face of the gutter making the leds in a better line of sight from ground. The same happened for the window frames using eyelets mounted to the rear of frame created a pleasant line of sight. At first I didn't like this but then I realized what it did!
The hangers are cheap too. You are not allowed to view links.

If you look at my vids note the top gutter line is actually 2 sections, the entrance ^ shape is prebuilt one section, as well as the sides. I used to risk my neck climbing the entrance peak to install the gutter lights! Now I just hang one from each side and push them together. I actually think it might be divine intervention that flex strips are 13.5' and my roof line was 27'...
