TLDR; I removed the big springs in the ground glass holder of a graflok back and I’m not sure how to get them back in.

I might have made a mistake. I recently happened into a speed graphic in very poor condition and I’ve been working through bits and pieces of it and getting them working. Today I was tackling the graflok back which was heavily corroded and wouldn’t move well enough to insert at film holder.

So I stripped everything down and cleaned all the parts and set about reassembling.

Well I just went to reinstall the levers that connect to the large springs in the ground glass holder and I have no idea how to get them back in. If anyone has any advice or ideas please let me know!
