Default Softail starter switch spring missing

Hi all,
As per the title, somehow my starter switch spring has gone missing whilst still assembled.
It was working fine and then wasn't.
I have seen lots of posts on here about using different springs but I have no idea what it is supposed to look like or what it wraps around.
Photos of housing and switch end plate and contact attached.

Anyone got any photos of what it looks and where it goes, or can you mark up my photos below.

Cheers
Mark

PS BIke is a custom EVO from around 2000 but modified (not by me).

Looking at it again, I night be wrong thinking the spring goes inside. Does it go outside under the button? Anyone know how?

Still searching and it looks like the spring is supposed to go on the outside left of the button. My button has a broken tab on the left so it looks like I need to order replacement button covers, and a spring.
The horn button should be the same so I can check that for how the spring goes.
