      • Lower the board into the controller at an angle so it sits underneath the locking tab on the controller's inner edge.

      • Use a spudger to bend the joystick's ribbon cable so it's perpendicular with the joystick.

      • Lower the board so the joystick's ribbon cable routes through the joystick cut-out in the board.

      • The brown portion of the cable should end at the golden line on the board.

      • Use your finger or a spudger to flip the locking flap down to secure the cable.
