Default throttle levers assembly - little springs from hell!!!!

I’m stuck and not able to finish HG job because I can’t remember how to assemble the Throttle lever in my 1998 D1. I looked into RAVE and found the attached picture but the diagram is not clear enough to see where the little springs latch on the “slots”

I wonder if someone in 30 years has been kind enough to video record such assembly or document the assembly steps in a clearer way than RAVE.

thanks 🙏

Piggybacking previous reply. I marked in red what you need to do. On the red marked spring, have it catch the plenum stop lever which is the bottom left red box, then do one full rotation around which will create tension then place it into the slot shown as the top middle red box.

The yellow box is the second slot for the throttle cable spring tension.

Just out of curiosity, why were the springs taken apart? The whole caboodle can be removed as an assembly.
