oil pump spring

[benbuilder]

I have a new to me 1931 pickup.
I dropped the pan to clean it out because it sat for a good 15 years.
I bought an new pump screen and spring.
When i replaced the screen, i did not notice a retainer clip.
I see the manual shows i should have the spring attached to the oil pump. When i look at my spring, it is firmly imbedded into the oil pan. It looks like mine works this way. Is it correct?
