      • Lower the board's flat side into the controller at an angle.

      • 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. Ensure the board is sitting underneath the locking tab on the frame.

      • Repeat this procedure for the shoulder button ZIF connector. The cable is fully seated when its brown "wings" are in their slots on both sides of the connector.

      • This connector can be tricky—you may need to hold the flap open, or hold the cable in place when closing the flap.
