the metal notches have nothing to do with the fitment. I noticed the second time around that the mtec h9 metal fins need to be cut as the h9 I believe is big on one side as opposed to the h11.

I should have read this first:
"The H9 globe and the H11 look more or less the same except that if you hold them side by side the locating lugs on the bulb-base are slightly different. the top one (closest to the wiring plug) is asymetrical and the one on the H9 is sort of biased to the left and the H11 is biased to the right . to make them fit I just used a pair of good snips to trim about 3mm off the left side of the top lug so that it became roughly symetrical."
