Sodium Battery Cells

Today was a big achievement. Swapped out my old hybrid battery and placed in a new sodium cell battery I ordered from Green Bean. They could not get an installer to me so I did it myself (and help from my friend and ChrisFix). This is a 2007 Prius with about 230k miles.
Does anyone know if there is suppose to be venting tubes on the sodium cells? It did not have any. I was hesitant to place my old venting tubes into the new cells as it did not have any way to attach it to. Any one have a similar experience?

Update: My car is driving normal again! When the battery was starting to fail, my car was constantly on limp mode and i could barely get up to 15m/h. Now with the new battery in, it accelerates normally and feels smoother than before!

I did not place my old venting tubes in as google said it doesn't need it. Phew!
