Well, I guess you could do it that way. I just looked at mine. The brackets are threaded so you just put the screws with a plastic washer (included) into them. No nuts to mess with.
But normally you would install the brackets to the screen, then position brackets on the bolts and then pull the screen back until it is against the gauges and tighten up the bolts. The mounts are slotted so you could move it up some, but with it pushed down all the way, leaves a small gap at the headlight instead of a bigger one.
There are some Velcro pads included to put on the gauges to eliminate rattle and abrasion. As suggested by another member, I put mine on the windshield instead. Good idea if later you want to install the chrome covers or change screens.
The Puig is really an easy install and you could play with it and decide how you want it.
