If I were to use a leather lace behind the bridge to slightly dampen the strings I'm not sure how I would put it through/between the strings. Would someone please post close up pics of what that should look like?
Thank you

Slightly? It's it's either or.
The leather should just touch every individual string.

I put leather on the tailpiece below the strings. Since I only change one at a time it never comes off, isn't seen, and dampens the strings just fine.

Thank you all.
I have always had a propensity for losing small parts that are not securely attached. After trying add on devices of all sorts for dampening the string from bridge to tailpiece, another simpler approach has proven to be optimal for traditional Gibson style tailpieces. On the edges of the bottom and the inside of the top of the tailpiece apply a small strip of the loop half of stick on Velcro style fasteners. Trim to fit the metal edges. Permanent solution, invisible, nothing to lose when changing strings. This has been effective for twenty plus years.
