Nice Job. It's very professional looking.

I've done mine both ways. But to install the graft before the top and back, require the removal of the sides from the mold, something I don't do anymore. I install it after the box is closed.

One thing that is very apparent to me as I go through this first guitar building experience is how important it is to keep the sides securely in the mold with as much bracing as necessary as you shape them, add kerfing etc and not remove them until the top and back are on.
