Bending the EMI shields ever so slightly

Bending the EMI shields ever so slightly
The EMI shields are held in place with small tabs and notches on the main PCB. There is also a sticky substance holding them to the chips. Furthermore, the two shields are held together by a perforated metal connection, we had to snap the connection to separate the two halves.
