Just from experience, you'll want to listen to this...

P.S. While your at it, give that engine bay a wash!
Looks to me like you also need a part #15 in the diagram, which is Partition, engine bay, lower center 51717169422. Those two metal tabs sticking out with bolt holes appear to be where #15 should be connected (if memory serves me correctly). If so, #14 will be hard to mount properly.

When I replaced #10 (left, right) and #14 (top center), first I realized that #18 (on the passenger side) was broken, then I realized that #15 (lower center) was severely broken so had to wait for that part too. Of course, you'll need any screws/bolts/rivets that were lost in the making of your image/s.

To clarify and reduce confusion - double check all the parts highlighted in blue.

This would be (for my X anyway):

#10 51717169419 bulkhead engine compartment top left (Driver's side)
#10 51717169420 Partition, engine compartment, top right (Passenger's side)
#14 51717169421 Partition, engine bay, top center (connects #10 left to #10 right)
#15 51717169422 Partition, engine bay, lower center (connects #10 & #14 to firewall, partly under windshield wiper cowling)
#18 51757171791 Partition, engine bay, outer left (connects #10 to engine bay)
#18 51757171792 Partition, engine bay, outer right (connects #10 to engine bay)
#19 51757174642 Cover for engine bay partition (probably ok)
#21 51767171793 Seal for wiring harness (probably ok)

All those broken plastic bits, some of them may be large, are hiding in your engine bay somewhere, probably.

Lastly, if you end up needing #15, you'll have to remove the windshield wipers - make sure you mark how they are lined up before you remove them so you don't re-install and discover they're not where they should be.
