Checking spring position for the fan heater flaps Options

[Mcraneiowa]

I am reassembling the fan shroud with the heat flaps. I placed the spring underneath the hold down Tab but when working it back-and-forth it works itself up after. I moved it under the bracket against the magnesium bracket. Is that the correct position that is showing in the picture?

I figured out that there should be very little tension placed on the spring. I was trying to bring it about 3/4 the way around placing tension on the spring when secured under the metal tab and it would work loose when I moved the flaps back and forth. Once I figured this out, I was able to easily secure it under the steel tab. The flaps tend to gravitate towards open and with any fan air blowing will easily stay in the open position. Next is to reinstall the wire and thermostat.
