Let's first of all then select the mesh and apply UVW map and unwrap UVW modifiers to the geometric. Jump into edge selection mode, and then select each end of our support. We want to select the outer chamfered edge here so as to remove the caps. And, so, let's use the loop command and then convert our selections to UV seams, selecting a single edge on the underneath of our mesh.

We need to make certain that none of the edges cross our seams here as we do not want to split our end UV clusters in half.
