Default Gosh darn Headlight Spring?!?!?!

I installed a daymaker on my 2016 Street Glide and the damn "W"shaped spring popped out of the chrome trim piece and for the love of God I can not seem to figure out how to get it to fit back in without falling out. Can someone please tell me the trick to this little spring and pics or video would really help.
