You have them correct. Those strips just lay flat against the header W/S (they are not tucked under it).

They just sit there?? Are they glued down? Under them is a screw.

To my knowledge they just lay there and are not glued or screwed down (weird huh?). Once the top is clamped down for awhile they kind of mold themselves to the corners.

The corner piece just lays down on the rubber header strip - way make it hard ?

That rubber tube is no doubt to eliminate rain/wind noise at the header by adding some extra Bubba-style weatherstrip. Not that uncommon.
