Looked it up on shimanotechdocs, seems like it's a different cover assembly needed, not just a cap like the older models.

They had to do a special order for me.
I tried to do the same in my LBS but madison weren't going to ship the parts for something like 11 weeks

Screw that

Bought an XTR today comes with no pod , will probably sell te Xt780's building the bike now and can't fit my Hope Tech 4's with the pod in place, and can't wait 11 weeks 😯

I just got the xt785 shifters and the covers to replace the gear indicator windows were in a small plastic bag in the box.
Don't they normally come as standard or did I just strike lucky?
