I think you could safely throw the heat shield away but the usual go is to put a BF hoseclamp around them and get rid of the rattle that way.

I would keep the shield. They get Sh!t hot.
Use the clamp method or a dop of weld as required.

i usually give the heat shields a tap with a hammer or just tweak it with some pliers to distort it slightly.
sometimes works sometimes doesn't
