OK... here's MY take on this. I think he simply wedged the foam between the insert and the panel, putting a little pressure on the insert so it doesn't rattle and, I think, based on his rather cryptic post, giving adequate pressure with or without the plastic bezels mounted. His photo implies some other mysterious configuration but think that was just a trick
I am in the middle of building mine into the same or similar case and I was going to cut down some rat shack stripboard because I don't have any suitable scrap metal sheet laying around. I didn't think about the problem with the insert rattling, but I think I'll try wedging some foam in there, maybe glue it to the inside of the front panel to make things simpler to install and uninstall.
