You're probably missing the ones down by the front forks, accessed by turning the bars to lock on each side and reaching in with an extension. Wish I could snap a pic for you but it's supposed to rain today and I took the cage into work.

Yea that is it ...you missed the 2 that go in through the bottom between the forks. Like was said turn your handle bars to full lock and then look in the side with the biggest gap and the bolt goes through the chrome fork cover under the fairing..one on each side..

You do not need to remove the headlight bezel.

3 across the windshield, two in between forks (one on each side. You will need to move the bars side to side to get to the screws) and the two from the inner fairing side.

Oh, and buy the shop manual for the bike, it will be a priceless companion when you want to do any work on your scoot, best $50 (or so) you'll spend.

It appears the center bottom fasteners are your problem. Hope this helps
