This morning, I added the locating ring inside of the heatshield. The purpose of the ring is to concentrically locate the lower compartment onto the heatshield. The slightly-angled down flange of the ring serves to allow the assembly to easily slip into the hole, but effectively grips/seats the compartment snug against the bottom.
