Heat Shield Woes....

So I have heat shield rattle and was today able to pinpoint it to a particular shield. Problem is this shield appears to be welded together so Im not sure how I would go about tightening it or adjusting it so as I dont have ratttle issues anymore.

The white thing at the top is the oil filter if that helps out... Ive tried other forums but no one seems to have an answer or response....hoping I can get something here.

I went through yesterday and tightened everything with new clamps. Low and behold the rattle is gone.

Gotta love cheap fixes.
