For the new L bracket platten placement without grooves for the scanner how does the glass or plexi clamp in place what is used to keep it in place now this isn't to clear to me but I am considering having just these two pieces cut out again for the improved platten placement. will the previous mode...

It seems my observations were off it wouldnt be the first time, however i am encountering a regular problem despite me checking everything I could think of both cameras are both zoomed in equally and i amusing identical cameras however the font seems to come out smaller on the right camera.
