I am putting in a 3/8" woodpecker plate. I bought the template, but there
are no instructions.

Do I go for 3/8", or maybe 7/16" and rely on the leveling screws to adjust
it?

If you are doing it right, 3/8 is the way to go and never need to use
leveling screws. If it does not sit flush, you just take another pass about
1/32" deeper until it does, then use the screws only if needed. You want
the base to sit on the wood, not be suspended by tiny feet.
