Instead of using the gasket tack I used zip ties. Keeps it in perfect position and nothing will move it, no mess and simply cut off and slides out!! Here are some pics and videos!

I've tightened mine but not as tight as yours! I thought each side should have 5mm slack! I'll probably need to open it again and retighten it!
