Loctite the screws in so they dont rattle out.
If you have adjustable rockers, make sure the adjusters don’t come up and smack your baffle.
Good looking out! I have stock rockers right now, how would I check if they hit the baffle? The metal is a super thin sheet metal I had lying around and I'm mounting it flush to the screw holes (not pre tapped for any particular screw type). I did the same thing that Johnny Mac did just not as pretty.
The stock rockers won’t ever hit that baffle. It’s the adjuster screws on adjustable rockers that could hit it. The baffle that comes with those usually just covers two rockers and the hole in the valve cover should be centered over that pair of rockers. Just something to check for when you do switch to adjustable rockers. BTDT.
Jeg’s mopar cast valve cover PCV grommet and plug.
You won’t need the plug.
I’d use this in place of the twist cover and add oil through the breather.

I used a self tapping screw but I can’t remember the size...may have been metric. If you can get two screws in there with LOCTITE I wouldn’t worry about it. One screw is iffy at best.
Gotta love working on cars...it’s always something.
They sell baffle kits for those valve covers. Just paid $9.95 for mine on Ebay, and these twist in breathers $42.00OReillys and autozone only had push on caps. I bought one but dont know it it will work as the grommet doesn't cover the full opening.
I took the gasket off my twist on cap put it on the bottom of the push on pcv filter cap then use grommet to hold everything in place on bottom side of valve cover. It's pretty tight but I think a twist on will be better to get.

Tried to screw in my baffles, small 12 x 1/2 in sheet metal screw and popped 2 of the tabs. What the actual ****!
I'm kind of lost at what to do now. The #10 screws were to small for the hole, the 12's seemed just right so idk what to do now. Epoxy weld it all or I dont have another idea as I dont weld or have a welder.

Yes or JB weld! you do not want them dropping. Make sure it is Oil and Automotive compatible!
I used JB weld to fix the oil pan on Russian diesel tractor it's still in service 20 years later.Idk if it is automotive oil compatible. Doesn't say on the box. I have JB weld as well. This is the current state with the epoxy weld.
It's a little hard to see but the screws didnt tap to far into the aluminum tab but was most likely from the pressure around the circumference of the tabs.

That JB clear is just regular epoxy probably good stuff but I know the regular grey JB works in oil.
It may work great, but I'd always worry about that coming apart in there.
