I have the older style, so I can't provide a photo of the newer one.
Have you given Don Rivera a call? Knowing Don, he usually has installation photos on everything. I'd be surprised if he doesn't have one for the pump in a RV-10.

Again---I wish I had pics of all the different install stuff we've done over the years.
The new version AFP pump is easier!. And-if you screw the filter in the pump supply port, it saves several connections, AND still fits in the stock brackets!

Not sure if this helps, but I did my plumbing over the weekend. I decided not to attache the filter directly to the pump since it will get pulled every year, if I mess up a flare to a nipple that is easier to fix than the end of the pump or filter, just my thoughts. Let me know if you can't see the link. I also replaced the nipple in the bottom of the valve with a straight one, instead of the 45 Van's supplied in the kit.

Loop between the fuel pump output and the flowscan?
That is what i was looking for. I was thinking like you to put the pump vertical.
I was wandering if i should do another loop after the fuel pump to have the 5 inch straight before the fuel flow sensor. In my actual setup, i have higher fuel flow when the pump is on probably because of the turbulance ( i have the flowscan and not the Redcube

I thought I had a better picture of the front connection, if you want more pics let me know, you can kind of see how I looped the pump to the red cube. I couldn't find a spec on needing so many inches of straight before the sensor. I have a friend with the red cube in the same spot and he just has a loop to it like I have and we haven't seen any issues with reporting to the screens.

Teflon?
I don't know if I see the picture but do you have teflon tape on your transducer connection ? If yes I think we are not supposed to use Teflon tape on fuel line.
Also here is the link to the transducer installation that suggest straight line of 5 inch before the sensor.

You are correct, no Teflon tape.
On the pipe threads going into the sensor, you may want to use a very small amount of thread sealant. Be sure not to get any sealant near the end of the connector. Sealant in the fuel line will cause things you don't want to happen.
On the AN fittings with the beveled end, don't use anything. Just torque them properly.
