Default Need help with Singer 12 shuttle :-)

I think I have the bobbin correctly threaded (via the manual and watching the one youtube video I could find). Although the video doesn't show as many steps as the manual recommends. My questions are:

1. How does the shuttle fit back into its case? The manual says to open the left slider and fit the shuttle in, but does not say which direction it should point. And the carrier doesn't really give me a clue either. I've tried both directions, and neither seems to make the carrier happy.
2. The manual says to pass the thread under the spring. Is that the spring on the side of the bobbin? There also seems to be a kind of spring/flap inside the machine on the carrier.
(wow, I wish we had a video of this process!)
Any help will be sincerely appreciated!
