I expanded the entry and boom, the piece fit. I did not need to do any manipulation of the optics. Quite a nice surprise.
The scanner is glued in. I used sprue-goo because it is thick. Thus, it allowed me to control where the glue goes. No capillary action to worry about with that stuff.

From here I will light-block internals of the scanner, then start remaking the rest of the optics.
