Well Dave is 100% right and i goofed up, i completely missed the fact that the fuel line sits on top of the iacv module.
It took me a few days to work this out but after getting a new 8mm spanner and grinding it down to get in between the bolts and the airbox i was still not able to undo the two inside ones, i managed to change the shape of the airbox with a heat gun on the left but it was too risky next to the fuel line to do the same for the two in the middle, the bolts do not have enough room to unscrew without hitting the airbox.
So sorry about the confusion i caused, i just watched the clip and the minute he removed the iacv module up and out of the throttle body i got very exited and posted the clip but never checked it on the bike because it was packed away for winter, only after Dave explained about the fuel line i removed the tank and side panels and tried it out on the bike.
On a positive note i am getting much better at removing and replacing the fuel tank and popgun's way of putting the blue clip in first works fine, i just put a very small amount of grease on the fuel pipe and the front mounting rubbers and the job is easy to assemble.
Thank You Dave for pointing out the mistake i made !
