Condenser Location?

I've had the front bumper off today, as I wanted to replace the fan resistor and the intercooler o-rings, but also to have a look at the condenser, as it appears to be at a funny angle.

It looks like there is a tag on the condenser (small arrow) which should locate in a bracket on the radiator (big arrow).

Is that correct, and will I have to loosen/move the radiator in order to do it?

Also, when trying to remove the intercooler elbow, the bolt was just spinning around. It appears that the 'experts' that have been servicing the car from new - with previous owner - have bodged it with a longer bolt and flanged nut, meaning I had to remove the headlamp to get to it.

And if that wasn't bad enough, there aren't any o-rings to replace, just some gunge to remove. It's no wonder it's so oily around the front of the engine bay!
