Use M6x30 bolts for lower bracket and M6x25 bolt for upper bracket. 

Use Loctite 243 or similar thread locker! Avoid using high strength thread locker. 

Make sure the plastic cover sits in place and everything is nicely aligned. Tighten lower bolts to 5 Nm. Do not overtighten!

Tighten upper bolts by hand, so bracket can rotate a bit. 

5. Install stainless steel sides, as shown on the photo, using M5x10 bolts. At first, tighten bolts lightly.

Install LHS and RHS part and align upper aluminum bracket accordingly. Than tighten the M5 bolts. No need to overtighten, 3-4 Nm is enough. 

Use Loctite 243 or similar thread locker!
