To mark a location through a ceiling or floor, Use a straight piece of wire about 1 foot long cut from a coat hanger (won’t twist up carpet fibers if you need to drill thought carpet) and insert this into a drill motor. Locate the studs and mark the place you want your new box and drill the locator wire through the ceiling or floor as it applies. At the floor if you pull out the quarter round just a little bit you can drill this locator wire through the floor behind the quarter round and once the locator wire is removed the hole will be hidden behind the quarter round.

If there are presently boxes installed remove them and use an electricians drill bit that comes with flexible shanks up to 4 foot long, these can usually be fed through the hole in the wall and flexed at such an angle that you can drill through the plate.

For fishing wire through walls, drop a piece of small flat link chain (commonly called furnace chain in this area) down from the top hole and fish up through the bottom hole with a flexible shaft magnet, once the chain is fished through you can fasten the wire to it and pull the wire through.
