I heard that the indexer was installed late, and a few of the supporting pieces weren't quite ready. So I speculate that the cover plate to keep the balls inside the cylinder and out of the corners is just not installed the photo.
The field crew was up late the night before Kickoff assembling.

P.S.
I think the top balls are handled with an indexer identical to the bottom indexer. You can see the base of the top indexer matches the base of the bottom indexer if you zoom in on that photo of the back.
