OCD me rolleyes went back and pulled the airbox lid and had a better look at what holds the filter element in place.
The lid has a ridge that presses downward on the filter about 3/4 of the way around. (red line drawn on the bottom side of the filter in the photo).
That in itself should keep it against the seal. The weakened triangular part on mine is kind of a suspenders added to a belt.
It's held in place okay.
Given my ST is 9 years old and has 46k miles, I put some waterproof grease in the seal grooves and ordered new seals.
Another project for another day.
