Side glued and screwed down. Technique applied here of holding off installing Panel 11 (mouth reflector) until the day of glueing down the final side panel. This affords some latitude to not only square up the mouth perfectly with clamps, but also allows that panel to "float" a little in its place while it cures, eliminating internal stress.
If there's ANY twist or bend in the mouth area paneling prior to setting down the final side, curing Panel 11 ahead of this schedule has the potential to permanently set that misalignment, no matter how miniscule, and can make squaring up Panel 10 to the side panel difficult at best.
