Scicon Aerocomfort 3 question

I have a Aerocomfort Tri case purchased new in 2020. Have never used it (covid etc) but just having a look at it now. Am I correct in saying that to make it work with thru axles, I simply remove the two silver end pieces that are used for quick release for the front wheel? No other adapter needed?

But for the rear, based on youtube vids, it looks like I need these, which I cannot find anywhere in the case or accessory bag (case was bought new)?

You are correct. This is a good two minute video on packing the case

Thanks. Just searched through my case again, those two rubber caps for the rear axle are not in there. :( Emailed their customer support....

I don't have those either....think those are for a brand new model. You should have something that look like a fat aluminum spacer. Different than the adapters for the quick release

Thanks, maybe. It is def the v3 tri bag, but it was purchased in early 2020. I don't see any other adapters, metal or otherwise. Only the metal quick release adapters as in attached pic....
