yup. both side "ears" as called on the parts list, wiggle enough to drop the damper. I will look into the tie rod idea first.Ah......
It looks like it's cradle has slightly spread - might be time for a "jury-rig" fix.....lots of possible ways to go about it. You could try a long tie (threaded) rod to pull the two sides back together....or extend the tabs on the damper by drilling and tapping and putting a short bolt on there, etc.
I can't see all the angles you can, but that's my take....

When I first took off the plenum I found a piece of key stock just sitting there......thought it may have fallen in during storage... Nope, I found where it went..wedged in the side plate aka ear. So I reinstalled the key stock with a bfh. Then pulled the damper out and drilled and tapped 10-32 on the left hinge pin. Made final adjustments with some washers.. So far so good.
Now I need to get all the rope gasket to button it up..
