How to use Template III for Find K Elements?

I almost exclusive see template II used for this question, I tried doing it with template III but don't really now how.

Does someone know the solution using template III?

Template II:

def findClosestElements(self, A, k, x):
        left, right = 0, len(A) - k
        while left < right:
            mid = (left + right) / 2
            if x - A[mid] > A[mid + k] - x:
                left = mid + 1
            else:
                right = mid
        return A[left:left + k]
