On a side note, the nameplate frame table itself has a key for the UnitFrame. The UnitFrame is a CompactUnitFrame which has all the bars, text, and frames attached.

Lua Code:
  1. -- for example
  2. nameplate.UnitFrame
  3. nameplate.UnitFrame.unit
  4. nameplate.UnitFrame.healthBar
  5. nameplate.UnitFrame.BuffFrame
