Need assistance with an Eastern kit

Hello r/buhurt,
I am in need of asssitance.
I'm in the process of making an eastern kit (mongol) for buhurt.
Got a couple of questions and i'm hoping this is the place where i get answers.

Q1: NOTE: A chainmail will be added on the metal framework.
This is my nasal helmet. I am having difficulties to get my cap/helmet liner fitted.
I made it myeslf and i am struggling to attach it to my helmet. Any ideas?
Follow up question, should there be "emtpy space" between the helmet liner/cap and the top of the dome? If so once i get bonk'd its not safe, i made my way around this by adding a pillow filled with cotton between the dome and my helmet liner(its not part of the cap).

Or should i just scrap it and make a new one, i made one using this one as a reference: https://www.buhurttech.com/product-page/helmet-liner

After getting past the cap issue, should i only do a chin strap?

Q2: Im looking over at armorarena.com to order full arm protection, including mittens and floating knees. Did anyone order from them and what was your experience?

Thank you!
