That top flap (teehee) goes between the carb and the motor. Definately not in the way you have it now.

This is how mine was and looked undisturbed.
The air box draws it's air from the chamber above the airbox base plastic extension

As far as I can make out, cold air to cool the carbs flows through the plastic duct under the headstock [ the chamber is formed by that and the underside of the airbox base]
The large lower rubber flap sits on the cam cover and the tapered upper on sits under the carbs and on the lower one, but does not touch it, leaving a small an air passage to the carbs.
There is also a gap each side of the upper flap.
The lower and upper rubbers keeps heat from rising to the air box and channel cold air to the carbs.

That's what I said in my earlier post. My untouched bike has flaps as yours Dave.

That will work, cold air will still flow under the carbs, but heat from the front head is less shielded.
