Default Anti rattle clip

I got this anti rattle clip for my front banana caliper. How does it go on? Has too large holes in it where I assume is for the fork mounting pins. But not sure

2x holes?
My anti rattle "spring"...
1x hole...to one of the clamshell bolts. The end presses in and against the fork.
(yeah I know my brake line is outside....gotta get more flapper sanding wheels to finish grinding paint off my caliper..then line will be properly placed inside)

The clip I have is OEM-41768-73. I really don't see what its function is. It just sit on the calipur with no pressure anywhere.

it goes between the fork leg and caliper. One hole is for the slide pin and one for the bolt. The 2 holes line up with the 2 holes in the fork leg.

I looked at putting it there but it really doesn't do anything. There is no pressure on anything. Can someone post a picture for me so that I can see the proper orientation?

that flat parts line up with the fork leg holes and wrap around the front of the fork leg. The curved part puts slight tension between the caliper and the mount, enough to prevent the rattle. If there is no tension, just bend the curved part slightly.
