If you have taken those plan documents to Solera and opened a trust account for your Solo 401(k), then you have a functional plan.Of course, the key to operation and usage of a Solo 401(k) is having access to appropriate guidance, so that you understand what you have, how to administer the plan, and what you can and cannot do as far as executing plan investments so as to remain within the IRS rules.
