What they are telling you is that with that type of connector there is no quarter turn retaining collar, so you have to put a little piece of tape across the corner to hold the spring compressed while you put the other pieces on top of it, which will then hold the whole mess together. The spring makes contact at the bottom of the hole, the brass plunger rides the spring, and your plastic collar allows the wire to feed out of the tube. Once you put the other pieces on the tape is no longer important, it is just an assembly trick.
