Ebay has 5 or 6 Eos manuals for around $40.

As for the front license bracket, IF you're going to comply with the CA requirement, you are either going to have to pay someone to drill or you're going to have to do it yourself. Surely you must know someone with a drill?
I just looked at my front bracket and the bumper is only very slight curved at that point. So, I think almost any front bracket would fit as it would only have to be very slightly bent as well.
The difficult part would be centering the bracket on the car. If you bought the car from a dealer, I think you should be able to INSIST that they provide a bracket or at least install one for you. Or you can just join the GROWING group that thinks front license plates are unsightly and just ignore having one at the peril of perhaps getting a ticket. I know at least one guy in my area who does this.
I get a big kick out of the one's who don't have a front license bracket, but then stick their front license inside the front windshield. Looks like something out of "Ma and Pa Kettle at the farm". Rather junky to say the least.
Again, there are several brackets on eBay.
Final thought. Are you SURE you don't have a manual? On the Eos, the manual goes into a slot at the top of the glove box. Since it has a black back, it's almost invisible until it is pulled out of the slot.
