I feel your pain....I hate that spring. There are 2 methods that work. Either insert a small strong punch into the shaft for the top lever and pry it over into place and slip the trigger plate onto the shaft or, drill a hole in the stock under the sideplate where it cannot be seen and inline with the shaft and push it into place. Either way works.
