I am in the process of building Hexy and I understand the X plate for the battery however, I do not see any instructions to mount the black battery holder that holds the 5 AA batteries? Also the connection of the 4 pin cable to the eyes is not clear I did this wrong the last time and smoked a board. I have a new board just want to be sure on the connection.
The 5xAA packs go in the same way as the 4xAA packs, in the slot underneath the Servotor32 shelf.
As for the ultrasonic, check out section 4.1 in the build guide:

There is maybe room for one battery tray and when you install the X battery cover you will not be able to get to the batteries to charge also what about the other tray no room.
I tried to post a picture but i need to work on that maybe someone can post picture of both battery trays installed.
Its not meant to have both battery trays installed, just one at a time:
