Install a cable tie to secure each of the four large toroidal inductors to the pc board as shown below.

Note how the locking heads are positioned below the pc board. If a toroid is far enough out of position to
obstruct a hole in the pc board, gently reposition it as needed. Ideally each toroid will be inside the circle
silk-screened on the board. Do not over-tighten the ties. Tighten them only enough to remove any slack
and provide a small amount of tension.
