Thetford cassette toilet model C403L on 2021 boondock TAB.
While cleaning the TAB compartment holding the cassette, dislodged the valve actuator spring.
Can someone tell me where and how the spring attaches to the lever?  Is there a clip missing?  No detent on the metal rod end, spring slips off.
The apparent slot is not where it goes.
A picture would be great- can someone remove their cassette and snap a clear photo looking up at this assembly?

    No takers.  For posterity here's the fix.

    @Tabnero, can you post the part number?  Maybe a pic when you get it in as well.  Thanks.
    My fix works well, but the spring is stretched and I wonder if it will twang off or break while in use at some later date.
