Problem with new Printer parts R3 "Better cooling and extruder upgrade"

Hello,
I have some problems with the new printer parts from the New Kit "Better cooling and extruder upgrade":

1. There is no grid between the heatsink and the wire for the probe and fan. I think that could be danger.
2. There is no connection from one of the both holes of the fan to the extrudor --> The fan is not fixed!
3. The screw of the other hole of the fan fits in the hole of the nozzle-fan-support, but does not hold.

Do you have the same problems? Are any solutions or instructions available?

Best regards
Christoph

@1 The grill was removed on purpose to reduce the airflow resistance, the heatsink does not heat up enough to damage the wire so there is no danger there.

@2 Correct. If you mount fan at 45 degrees you use only 1 screw. The second one is there if you prefer the old fan layout.

@3 Have you inserted a nut into the hole on the other side?

If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a nonworking cat.

I left a few cm of slack in all of my wires when I re-did mine. The first time around I had everything a bit tight then ended up with a lot of excess wiring stuffed in the einsy housing. This time around I figured a little slack might not be bad.
