What happens here

Place the cut bottom trim piece along the base of the window, ensuring it fits snugly between the two side pieces. Secure it in place using the siding nail gun. Next, position the cut top trim piece along the top of the window frame, ensuring it is flush with the side pieces and level. Secure this piece with the nail gun. Double-check all joints for tightness and proper alignment. If any piece is slightly too long, carefully remove it and re-cut for a perfect fit before re-nailing.

Goal: Securely attach the horizontal pieces of new window trim
