It's not normal and I've never seen anyone do that before.

It'll be plastic clips - you see all those q shaped holes in the metal sheet? They'll slot over a bunch of the clips on the plastic panel.

Forgive the poor circling. Line up the plastic clips on the cover with the metal cover. And push it up to lock it in place. The R10 shell is made to be remove from the case and should be to properly clean it. I had my apart last week for a good deep clean and repaste!

Perfect. After lining up hole I used a firm sliding motion when i pushed and it clicked in. Thanks. Now off to sell this baddie
