Answer

Both are acceptable.  I prefer #1 (should fully explain) but I believe this is a point where American and British English differ slightly.  I believe British English prefers the adverb after the full or bare infinitive (should explain fully).

Answer

They're both correct and mean the same thing.
1 sounds more natural to me though.
