Default Lower fan shroud

I am replacing the radiator on my disco and have noticed that the lower fan shroud attaches to the top of the radiator with two small philip screws but how is it held at the bottom? I can't remember or find a place where it attaches to. Does it just stay there with gravity. I am also concerned about the bottom part rubbing against the engine fan since the clearance is so close.

When you screw in the top screws, add a washer or 2. It's possible to over tighten and pierce the rad.

I just figured it out. The old radiator had two plastic clips at the bottom that I did not notice when I removed it. The new radiator does not bring it so the old ones need to be used.

Too late, I have already passed that point. It does not appear that I pierced the radiator but I will keep my fingers crossed.
