Gorf - mounting star field plastic help

Nevermind, got it figured out.

I was wondering if could you post your original problem statement, and what you found out?

Maybe with some pictures?

So that in the future, someone with the same problem can search for it (I know, good luck) and find it and solve it?

Sure thing. I can't seem to edit my post again, so I'll do it here.

I was wondering how to mount the starfield plastic piece that goes above the monitor. There are 2 brackets there, one on each side, and a slot at the top where the speakers sit, but the piece wasn't fitting in there. And there's not enough room side to side for the star field to lay on the brackets. It turns out, the brackets are only held in by 1 screw each (are least mine are) and shifted a little, not giving room for the piece to slide into the slot properly.

So, if anyone is having trouble, make sure the metal brackets on each side haven't moved. You should be able to put the star field piece up next to them from the bottom and slide it up into the slot near the speakers. A bracket then attaches from the back to hold it into place.

As an added bonus, my cabinet didn't have a monitor and I had trouble figuring out how to mount it. Just seemed like no matter what I tried it wouldn't fit from the front. I couldn't get the bottom and top of the monitor on the wooden supports. I ended up putting it in from the back, bottom first over the bottom support at the front, then mounting the top of the monitor from the back. Seems a little scary to me, but that looks like the only way to do it.

Thanks! This will help others in the future.
