Why does it say "k'Mishpatam" regarding the Menoros?

1.

'Rashi' citing R. Klonimus citing a Midrash: The Torah mentions 70 Perachim, Kaftorim, and Gevi'im Meshukadim. In 10 Menoros, there are 70 branches. The seven branches in each Menorah correspond to the seven Kochvei Leket (the sun, moon and five closest planets).

2.

Radak: All were like Moshe's Menorah, with cups and flowers.

3.

Malbim: They were in the south (like the Torah said about Moshe's Menorah).

2)

Where were the Menoros?

1.

'Rashi' (from Menachos 98b): Five were to the right of Moshe's and five were to the left. All of them were in the south. Radak (6) - also in the Mishkan, the Menorah was in the south, and the Shulchan was in the north.
