JS48 Governor Linkage Assembly question (spring)

So I had a leaf stuck in between the green plastic shroud, I pulled it out and what do you know? A spring was attached to it. Awesome. So I removed the shroud for a look. After searching online it looks like its spring #MIU12765. I ordered the spring, but not sure how it goes back on. I know next to nothing about engines, it looks like the one end goes over the spring loaded post, the only options for the other side is a pin hole or groove on a silver bracket next to it. I put the stretched "leaf" spring back on it using the pinhole and post as ends but it wont start. Hoping the new one works connecting to the pinhole but really want direction for someone that knows. Thanks in advance.

Sorry I am not familiar with that mower.
But if you clean the parts you might find marks where the old spring was attached.
