Default Active Shutter issue...

So walking to my truck yesterday, I noticed the intercooler active shutters looked a bit off... Then I found the top 2 had been dislodged... Not sure how that happened, but now they're no longer "Active". Has anyone else seen this? I'm going to try to fix it, but do the top ones overlap the bottom ones? Or vice-versa? If I get it wrong, I assume they won't open. Also, why no trouble code???

Delete post as I am wrong, Again LOL:

It looks like the top of the shutter rotates forward when they open.

This guy gopro'd his CAC active shutters and it's a pretty good picture for you to see how they operate. Check out post 39. Looks like bottom one overlaps top one slightly.

Thanks! Perfect! I was thinking just the opposite... I think that might be easier to fix.

It's fixed! I just pulled them back in place, used remote start, and they articulate. Thanks for your help! We've had cold weather, 20-35F for a while, and today its 80!... Don't like the intercooler blocked. Now I'd like to know what dislodged the "fins".
