trouble re-installing M52 intake manifold, please help

[übersteuern]

Hi,
When removing the M52 (non-TU) intake manifold we were foolishly unplugging/unbolting stuff like madmen to get it out, without documenting anything of course :tsk:
...and now I'm having trouble putting the spaghetti back together.

With the intake manifold on its studs, the manifold won't go down onto the rear support bracket (yellow arrow) because the ICV (red arrow) is in the way.

Have I installed the rear support bracket wrong? Or is there some trick to getting the ICV past this bracket?

Thanks.

loosen bracket. Swing around icv.
The icv bracket itself goes on the other side of the IM bracket.

Many thanks, that did the trick.
