Bruce,

I used to fight with that harness and the fuel lines that 
get in the way, but the EASY way to fix this is to find any 
living human of adult height and have them hold those things 
out of the way and the cover can go on in 5 seconds without 
worry.  You won't touch anything if you just get them out of 
the way.

An alternate would be (as recommended) to tie them up.  A 
few lengths of electrical wire will be long enough (ever try 
to find 20" long wire ties?) and re-useable as wire when you 
are done!
