Final update.
Thank you very much for providing the great link. I have successfully replaced vacuum bars today. A pretty easy job with below tool and also when following the above write-up. You need some patience to get the flaps back in the place. One of the pivots was seised, so it took me a bit of time to get it out..
The job took about 95 min while 30min I was only trying to get the inside flap bars back into the grove

BTW the links purchased from https://vanos-bmw.com

Another job DONE

Well done - glad you got it sorted ok. The original arms are made in plastic so that they break if the flaps seize so a broken arm normally indicates an issue. The variable manifold will perform properly once fixed and on my D2 I noticed the difference once it had all been serviced
