I'm struggling with the front upper splash guard fitting, so wondering how did others fit these 2 panels?

At the hood - is it meant to be fitted like in pic1 or pic2?

Any tips or tricks for fixing the pontoons in the right place to the upright splash panel? I noticed my driver side pontoon is twisted inwards by quite a bit, although passenger side is level.

Thanks!
