i think i figured it out(one metal shim connects to both gauges and is supported by the middle plastic pole that holds the clip on), I am not really a big fan of this design, but i guess if it works. a bit of play in between of gauges and the pod, but okay...I'll make it work.
I just need to figure out what i need to do to make these turn on and off at the same time with the car, and how would i go about uploading the bull picture in the background upon start up. any help?
