I put my VGS1 in a long time ago, but I think I used the thin foam pads, one 
on the bottom and one on the top to insulate the board.

The manual does say to use 2  foam pads and  the other 3 are not used,
but the description isn't very clear on the placement.  It does say to
attach them to the vgs-1, so  maybe one goes on each side?   If you
can't find someone to look at the picture or drawing or whatever is on
page 71 of the print manual, maybe a little trial and error is in order
and see  what fits best.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but I had mine installed at HRO and never
had my hands in there.
