Create a custom page using InstallOptions. See Examples\InstallOptions for examples.

Put the Page line in its appropriate position between the other page macros.

No. Simply move the Page line in between !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_* lines. The order in which pages show is the order in which they are defined in the script. The MUI_PAGE_*, as do Page lines, define pages.

I have already tried it,
by doing so I get error as " "

Error: command InitPluginsDir not valid outside section or function
Error in macro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_EXTRACT_AS on macroline 5
Error in script "C:\Personica\Final Installer\final.nsi" on line 24 -- aborting creation process

Move the Page line, not the contents of the UserSerialNumberDialog or .onInit function. Move just the following line:

Page custom UserSerialNumberDialog
