As mentioned in my post, those metal engine surrounds help separate engine compartment air from the heated air from the exhaust system below. Introducing high temperature air into the engine compromises the cooling needed to prevent overheating.

Suggest sourcing the needed pieces to accomplish that cooling objective.
