Default Emergency brake spring

Could someone post a picture to show where the e brake spring goes, the one attached to the shoe, inside the backing plate, not the return spring?

Default Emergency brake spring

I have included a photo of how I put it together which is wrong. Check out Tom's method below. I will need to change it.
Hope you can make them out. Click on the picture to enlarge it.
Good Day!

Be sure the springs hook in the bracket hole away from the carrier plate. If you hook it in the hole closest to the carreir plate, the spring could catch on the plate. Also be sure the brake band is installed correctly, with the pin connection end of the bracket for the toggles AWAY from the carrier plate.
