If you put them under the tank and on top of the airbox you could have been putting pressure on the airbox which could be unseating the carbs. That will cause an airleak and make it do what you described

Re: f3 help please

Is it possible you bumped the air mixture?
I also think there is a good chance you bumped a carb loose and air is coming in around the carb seal.
