Thumbs down instrument cluster question

I had a dash light problem - took the panel out - got another from a junk yard
and it seems fine but the back plastic covers that are over each gauge are different - my old one had 3 covered 1 not - the replacement has 2 covered and 2 not covered - are they all suppose to be covered or is there a reason for them not having them all covered - these covers are over the nuts that hold eatch gauge to the circuit. Thanks, I know you guys will have the answer.

if they are what I think you are talking about, they are insulaters, you can "carefully" pry 2 of yours off old cluster and push them back on new cluster.

It should look like this with 2 gauge terminal guards.
