Look at the contour of the sheet metal, and the contour of the cylinders. They get larger as it gets closer to the head, so the longer piece clips in there.

Is that silicon on the head I see? I hope you did not use that on the case as well.

Yes... don't use it. If it gets loose inside it can clog a oil passage and damage your engine. I had a friend's engine that developed a rod knock and spun a bearing. We found a hunk of silicone in the oil passage that feed that rod.
