Default after looking more closely at your pics, it seems you do have the correct mesh pieces.

You need the stock mesh "frames" to put the RS4 mesh into.

Default i'll take pics of mine tomorrow... but that's how mine looked

when i was setting them up. Because you removed the centre bar it's less rigid. Set the mesh in the frame so the black edge is "inside" the frame. Then fasten it using tape temporarily... glue one side at a time. In my case i just drilled small holes and zip tied it using the little tabs that are already on the mesh. You can't tell unless you go right up to it.

Default Pictures would be cool, just to make sure I'm on the right track ...

Also, thanks to everyone for their input ...

My issue was I followed a DIY in the tech area, however, that guy used some metal mesh, and I'm using OEM RS4 stuff ...

Didn't know I needed the old 'frame' from the old inserts ... and unfortunately, cut the tabs off that mount them. O well, just more glue I suppose.

Just FYI for other attempting this mod ...

It's gonna rock when it's done!

Thanks again Brian at Avalon for the RS4 Mesh ...

They aren't too bad actually from Brian at Avalon ... plus, they were an X-Mas gift!
