I have a 1920x1080 image I put in my background by use of a daylight set to backplate.

But how can I match/fit my backplate image correctly to the render ...

You can´t.
This is one of the many problems Octane has since ever.
I prayed for a RGB Matte render element for about two years and gave up.
Apparently it is much more important to render hair und volumetrics.

You can use the render layer setup (under kernel) for masking objects, but you have to ...

Ok, ich found out what seems to be the problem.
In most of my production files I get a error message when opening "Missing Dll: octane3dsmax.dlr".
Files that give me this error won´t work with the converter.
Even if I merge everything in to an new scene, f.e. my convert_test scene I uploaded here ...

1. Beauty
2. Layer Mask 1
3. Layer Mask 2
4. Layer Mask 3

Also, it would be great if we could name the ID's in the Octane Object Properties (Layer ID1 = Brick , Layer ID2 = Metal ...)
Or even better ...
