FIXED......I think!
I figured out how the pieces went back together after doing some reading/research. The intake air has to be separated from the quick cool air that is sent down into RV when the quick cool door is opened. If air were to bypass and get past divider into intake, this already cooled air would freeze the condenser and AC unit. At least that is how I understand the AC system works.
So, with that logic in mind, I sent out to insure that the divder plate blocked air between th eintake going uo into AC unit and the cooled air that is eiether sent down into RV when quick col door is opened or through ducting when closed.
See pics of my assembly....
I used extra duty 3M mounting tape to hold bottom in place and then used extra strong glue spray to hold down the white insulation along around edges and front of divider.

Foam between divider plate and AC pan....to seal ou any air



Mounting tape to hold divider plate onto lower plate


Insulation glued down all across the divider plate and onto sides...also assist in preventing air from getting into intake area
