The next part of the assembly takes time , some sanding, cutting, and patience. The C and L braces may need some sanding / cutting to get a proper fit.

Position the engine mount assembly into the core tube. Try to align the C braces with the tick marks on the top and bottom of the core tube, Apply glue to the C braces/core tube. Fillet each side of the C braces. Allow to dry.

Take the L braces and dry fit them to get a proper fit between the core tube and engine mount before gluing in place. Once you have a good fit, glue them in the same manner as the C braces using a fillet on each side. Use the tick marks on the core tube and alignment line on the engine tube.

Glue each of detail strips to the outside of the lower portion of the core tube, below the minor shroud. Align these strips so they are straight. Allow to dry.
