Hello all, thanks in advance for any help
I'm replacing the secondary air baffle on this stove, after some difficulty I got the old one out, but having difficulty getting the new one in.
can get the lower back holes lined up and bolted, but the upper front 2 it just wont seat down far enough to bolt it. Any suggestions?

Note: when I went to remove the old air baffle the bolt on the right (connecting to the right side burner plate) was broken and the baffle was lifted up.
Could I possibly have a warped side burner plate(s)?
If that is the case, and I do have to replace the burner plates, how are these removed?
