Tom R,
The fan shroud seal is mounted on top of the upper shroud. The "U" shaped channel points downward between the shroud and the radiator. As usual, the staple first goes through the rubber, then through the metal shroud where it is peened over on the underside of the shroud.
The way part of your question is worded leads one to believe you're trying to fit the seal channel ON the short flange of the shroud. The entire channel is forward of the short flange. The objective is to seal the gap between the radiator and the shroud for greater fan efficiency. (Yeah, right!)
Sorry for the delay in answering your question.
Tom D.
