Default quick ? about Jason Ward's FCS thermal switch install

I don't usually post on here but I just saw the brown truck deliver my new FCS system from Jason Ward..A quality product for sure!! I don't have Office here at home so I can't view the thermal switch install instructions. I understand the wiring just no idea where to mount the switch ??? Is it meant to be adhered to the cylinder or what is the way some of you have installed it..
thanks for your ideas I want to install them this weekend and it would be Monday before I can get to a computer where I can open a docx file.

Push the thermal switch between the first and second and large fins on the front Jug using an ice cream stick or tongue depressor. Good to go.

Look on his web site, depends which switch you have. Creep or Snap. The snap is a little more carefully placed with a dab of,(I used Permatex ultra black RTV) On just the bottom and side that contacts fin and wall of cylinder. Carefully wedged in place with a wood shim or folded business card overnight till RTV is fully cured.
