G'day and welcome Mike,
The dog spring (ie bent piece of copper) sits against the top of the dog and the inside of the cavity around the bridge plate screw, and flexes around the Bakelite post.
Hope that's of some assistance.
Good luck, Justin

this is exactly it, thank you!
now how do you suppose is the best way to get in place under the plate that goes over it and in position with the gear?
