Installing my aluminum belly pan from Wingstuff, I removed the left side two heatshield nuts, gently pulled the shield outward to the ends of the remaining studs, inserted the pan left side and then tightened the nuts back on the studs. Repeated this process on the right side. Maybe the stainless model is different but I would think installation would be the same. With both sides securred, I installed the front section covering the oil filter. I hope this helps.
