Z-screw covers

I've got a mk3s+ kit, which was delivered yesterday.

Assembly is going swimmingly - although there are some aspects that I would do differently to aid manufacture, but hey ho.

I have got to the point where the Z axis is assembled (the 2 vertical worm screws) and attached to the frame - but I am left with 2 "z screw covers" - round black pyramid shape parts with 4 tangs that look like they engage in to the screw thread.  They arn't mentioned in the instructions online or in the book so where do they go (or does it become apparent later?)

Thanks!

Never mind - got it 🙂

Took multiple re-reads and ctrl-f on the online manuals though...

RE: Z-screw covers

Just don't get them too close to the motors or they can self tighten, and you can probably guess where that leads.
