I can chime in,
We use loctite on the thread to #1 keep the stainless stand off and #2 prevent any air leaks around the threads. That is what is seen on the first picture as the goo.
The standoff threads inside the MAF housing are on the opposite side and within a cm of being parallel of where the MAF measures air passing so it will not have any effect on airflow. This is something which we had to make a decision on doing two different standoffs or using one. Since the airflow readings were not going to be affected and we did not want to add more cost into the intake we went with 1.
The plastic flashing on the air straightener should have been smoothed off. I will go chat with the operations manager about that. That is the spot where the injection mould puts in the plastic which creates the small bumps sticking up. It doubt it would make a difference but it something that should no go out like that.
When I have trimmed down the t=bolt clamps length I would run them down in place and mark it with a sharpie. Then when you pull them off again you have the exact spot to trim them flush.
The install looks good and we always appreciate reviews even if they are not the best. If gives us a chance to improve.
