After you cut the pipes and drill a new hole, slide the baffle back in and put in the screw through the new hole and thread it into the same spot in the baffle.

I probably made that sound way more complicated that it really is.
Not really.After more thought I remembered that the threaded part is already in the baffle,so no tapping needed.Sounds easy enough.
