It looks like he's found a space for it to go and he's going to shove it in it and hope for the best

It looks as if he's just randomly putting a clutch in the engine bay, Nic.

Its coz Daveylc is a super mechanic so seeing something that absolutely no-one else would see/care about makes him feel that little bit more superior.
