I purchased a hood latch repair kit that includes the spring, clevis pin, and cotter pin to repair my hood safety latch.

I can not determine how to assemble the spring scuh that it functions as intended.

I suspect that the two seperate legs engage the inside of the stamped steel latch while the formed shape engages something on the hood latch plate or vise-versa but I can not seem to determine a combination that would work that I can actually assemble as the spring either is not deflected or is too deflected (cannot get it that far).

Does someone have a picture of the spring installed and any insight regarding how to assemble the parts correctly?
