Terry,

The light blockers should ideally stick to the board.  If that is not 
possible, they should stick to the switch substrate (as close to the 
board as possible.
The purpose is to block the light escaping from the ends of the LCD 
assembly, so if you get them into position at the ends of the LCD in any 
way that makes them stay there, it is correct, and will provide the 
proper function.  Do not push them down too low - the top surface should 
be flush with the top of the LCD.
