My glovebox fell off the hinges chucking everyhing over the floor. And realised some of the screws and fixings went missing. I bought a whole new set but tried to atempt it bus couldnt not figure how to get my hand into the same to try and do up the screws. You I put the straps on first ? or not? is there a guide ? am I doing it the wrong way round?

Fixings on first, then hook it into place with the straps. It's shine a bright torch into that area before dealing with your glovebox to check there hasn't been some 'metal failure' which has caused the box to drop.
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is

Possibly bulkhead is rusty and needs refabrication
