Front Brake Vent Screen Installation

I installed this wire mesh front brake duct screen but can't find any way to align brake duct perfectly behind the screen.

Any suggestions? TIA

It just takes a little patience. If the screen is cut right, it should slip down into the duct and be held tight against the fascia. I had to work with mine a bit to get it just right.

Hmmm... The screen I got is in rectangular shape that sticks on the the inner part of the opening with 3M tape. I just don't see how I can reshape it to fit Brake Vent Duct over the screen (the opening of the duct has to be wider to accomodate increase in size of the duct opening due to attached screen). At this moment, the vent duct is pressure fit (duct have wrinkle part that can be pressed in to pressure fit to the back of screen) to the screen but it is hard to align the duct opening to the duct because of the screen in the middle.

Driver side is lined up good but passanger side is keep slipping down...
