It should be impossible to mount the lens with the eyes on, unless you bend something. The little plastic thing fits against the top edge of the camera's top plate. It seems to be there partly to prevent you from removing the lens with the eyes in place. I'd guess that it also keeps the eyes properly aligned and possibly helps protect the camera body from getting scuffed. - - Paul
