I bought a new hood release lever, comes out of the front bumper to pull your hood open, and can not figure out how it is secured to the long vertical lever which releases the hood latch. Tthere is no hole in the lever to put a bolt or cotter pin. How is this done?

There is a spring that wraps around it & secures the lever to the latch, I don't have a picture but you are missing a piece to complete it.
