Maf sensor position?

Hey i recently added a custom cai to my greddy turbo kit, but i can tell it is not running like it use to, so my only guess is that the way i have the maf sensor positioned is wrong. Or maybe i dont have enough straight pipe behind the maf housing causing it to stall on occasion and be choppy. Any info would be amazing, i just need to know what i need to change to get it to run smoother. There are tons of people who know alot more then i do about maf sensor positioning so please help. Use the pictures as references, sorry if they are blurry.

so i need to pick up a screen and put it in before the maf housing, then put a piece of pipe behind it to make the bend further away. What does the screen really do just for curiosity?
