Default Fuel float arm dilemma

I'm trying to figure out how the float arm wire inserts into the fuel sender so that the arm does not rotate. There is reference to a diagram DWG F-385B/C which must have the answer, but that diagram seems to be absent from my set of instructions. Does someone have that diagram they could maybe post a photo of it?

The end of the wire gets a 90 degree bend that insert into the sender. This prevent the float from rotating. Hope it makes sense

The end also calls for a 90 degree bend , 3/4 " long to prevent it from pulling out of the sender ..

OK, I get the 3/4" bend part, but how does it insert into the sender?

The sender end has the 90 degree bend. The wire goes into two clips or holes. The very end goes into a hole and then after the bent , the wire pushes down into the clips. At least this is for the resistor type.
