Engine Cover 2022 BS Big Bend (Once Again)

[JSPrater]

Apologize for perhaps rehashing old issue, but can't seem to find all answers. Have attempted to research engine cover at OEM Ford parts on web, and come up with results of "does not fit" for 2022 BS, but does list cover for 2021 BS .
VillageFord.com has Engine Cover(JX6Z-6A949-B), Insulator(JX6Z=9K540-E), Stud(DT1Z-6A957-A), and Stud(AA5Z-6N958A) all for 2021 BS.
Are there any changes between model years configuration or engine programming that would preclude use of 2021 parts on my 2022 Big Bend.
Additionally, is the insulator a desired or required part of engine cover assembly and how many of each stud are required.
Any pros or cons of attempting to install the engine cover would be appreciated.

My honest opinion, no sarcasm:

Pros- None
Cons- Your wallet will be lighter for a cover that does absolutely nothing and you will rarely see.

This. I added a used cover I bought to my Maverick thinking it might suppress some noise from the HPFP and 60 dollars later it did absolutely nothing so I sold it for 100 on ebay. I couldn't care less how the engine bay looks but I get that some do.....

According to getoemparts.com, the first, third and fourth parts you listed fit all 2020-2023 MY Escapes with the 1.5L engine. I believe 2022-2023 MY Bronco Sports are not listed because Ford stopped installing the engine cover for those years. If it fits all MY Escapes I think it's safe to assume it will fit all MY Bronco Sports as well.
