Fats

1-2 thumb-sized servings of fat per meal according to the recommended meal template ... olives, avocado, homemade mayo, ghee, coconut, etc. Nuts are a fat source, but for some people can cause digestive issues when eaten to excess, so it might not be ideal to have them at every meal.

I am confused because the Meal Planning pdf has the 1 to 2 thumb sized portion for oils and butter then lists nuts, olives etc in different proportions. It does not say butter "or" olives, for example but lists them all "per meal". So, do ineat and avocado and nuts each meal or avicado or nuts each meal?

Avocado, or nuts, or home-made mayo, or compliant bacon, etc etc etc.

The 1-2 portions may come into play when you use oil for cooking, in which case you will most likely need to add an additional source of fat as most of the cooking oil will stay in the pan.

Fat will keep you satiated, so if you find the meals you are creating are not keeping you satiated for 4-5hrs then it's likely you will need more fat - provided your protein & veg are as per the template.

Hope this helps.

No. The meal planning template tells you appropriate serving sizes of different fats. You need fat in every meal. You are supposed to choose what fat you will include in any particular meal. You can mix and match fats or use just one. The big deal during a Whole30 is to make sure you consume plenty of fat. This is not a low-fat approach to eating, but it is not a fat-party either. Don't let fat crowd veggies off your plate. :)
