The end of the stock Yamaha molded plastic throttle tube is "capped" for the lack of a better word.

You must, at the very least, cut that molded cap off, or drill a large enough hole in it to accept the handguard mounting hardware.

Not sure why yamaha used such a crappy throttle tube.

I used a 5/8" hole saw and cleaned up the edges with a dremel.

One thing I found was to cut that cap off, and then cut about another 1/8 of an inch off it. The tube will bind against the handguard otherwise.

+1 on that. I used a hacksaw and just made my way around being carful not to cut into the handle bar itself.

I also removed a bit of the tube, using a dremel, and wasn't careful enough to not cut into the handlebar. zeta handguard throttle side install question 490865

The throttle tube is now shorter than where the mark is.
