1 of 5: Again, refer to the key by putting it alongside the puzzle.
2 of 5: The x-marks on the key and on the puzzle all look very much alike. There are distinguishing marks to help you align them and put them in the correct spots.

4 of 5: Two blocks on the very bottom right form one long line connecting the two.
5 of 5: Refer to my graphic solution below for the answer. I was unable to copy the x-marks exactly, but the prominent markings appear in the correct locations.
