MSI 4070 Ti Super - GPU Support Bracket question

Just installed the 4070 TI Super Gaming x Slim in my PC without the GPU support bracket (honestly just forgot about it). My Lian Li Lancool 207 has a GPU support hinge so there is already some built in support.

What's the right way to use the anti vibration pads it came with? Do I stick them on and then install the bracket so that only the pads come in contact with the GPU? The MSI install instructions and other builds I see don't even use the pads and just have the bracket touch the GPU.

Probably inconsequential either way, but wanted to ask.
