Passenger Kick Panel Install

Got a quick question. Trying to correctly install the pass side kick panel on an AC car - 1980 camaro. Where does the spring go? I know that this seems like an easy question but this little panel is a pain in the butt. Any diagrams or pics?

Hey, sorry for the post. There was nothing to installing the kick panel. I was just frustrated after putting together the rest of the interior. My car recently came out of paint jail and I was trying hard to get it back together. I promise I am not an idiot and was able to stab the panel in within a short period of time this evening. I even used the duct seal which is referenced on this site. Home Depot (at least where I live) no longer carries the duct seal. I went to amazon and picked it up for around $3.00. My camaro is finally near completion. I will try to post some pix once the stripes are back on the car. Just a brief description - Golens 383 ci 500 hp, JW performance 700r4, 4:10 rear end, 3200 stall, 225 hp shot of nitrous and the list of stuff goes on and on. I kinda hate thinking how much I actually have in this car (80 Z28) but it really is a kick in the ass to drive.

No need to apologize, even the simplest thing can be a nightmare if you come at
it tired and frustrated, add rushing yourself too and its best to walk away and go
at it again the next day.

I have had two simple parts simply REFUSE to go together, and the next day the
parts did as they should. I think we have all been there once or twice.
