Here are the actual typed formulas for the third layer:

1. Making the cross: F R U R' U' F'
(Dot [in any orientation], then L shape [with tips pointing down and to the right], and then the [horizontal] line)

2. Aligning the cross: R U2 R' U' R U' R'
(One correct piece facing you and one facing away, then one incorrect facing you and one to the right)

3. Placing corners: L' U R U' L U R' U'
(Any orientation if all corners false. Otherwise, correct corner on bottom right)

4. Final Step: R U2 R' U' R U' R' L' U2 L U L' U L
(Keep false corners on bottom right and, if possible, top right)
