How to reassemble the air intake and filter box?

Hiya!

This might be a stupid question :lol: but when re-installing the air filter box and the air intake pipe, what is the best order to re-assemble? The AA guy took it apart and now im not sure exacrly hows best to assemble...I've screwed down the bottom of the filter box, reattached the air intake pipe to the engine and then was going to clip the top of the filter box back on. However, the actual rubber sticking out from the air filter is making getting the top of the box almost impossible to clip back on. I haven't done it before (still learning haha) and it took alot to just attach the pipe back onto the engine so thought it might be worth asking if that's the wrong order before trying to do it all again...
Its a 1997 24v.

Thanks
Verity

Lift the top of the airbox lid up slightly and push the tab,s on the left hand side fully in.that will
then cover the air filter rubber then clip the the lid down and reconnect front hose
