I don't remember having issues, but it's been a couple years. IIRC I just went straight in and got it around the vent ports 1st.
I did have to re-attach the clips at the top. I drilled a small pilot hole so the plastic didn't split and used small construction screws (the little, black self tapping screws used to build metallic framing for office walls and such) and a dab of epoxy so they wouldn't come loose.
They look like these. Only 1/4" and have nice, flat heads.

Yes thanks for the information. And the clips on the left a right did fall out. great information on getting the clips back on. I wonder are they even necessary being as though the area is so tight???

It would likely rattle/squeak. It would suck to have to tear it all back out just to put them back in.
