Default Quick Vararam question

What do I do with the Z06 screen screws? The instructions say to remove the screws and reverse the screen clips? I assume it means flip them over and let the threaded metal part pop into the screen but now do I leave the screws out so the ram tube doesn't hit?

Also I can't get the radiator shroud back in, it doesn't seem to fit and is hitting the air filter box....

So I gave up and ripped the foam padding on the radiator off to get more space, that didn't work...so then the self tapping screws that go into the front screens popped out of the vararam so I said screw it and removed them, basically the only way the shroud went back on was with those off and the intake smashed to the front frame....only thing holding the vararam in place is the radiator shroud and the mass air sensor coupler
