Default Steering column jacket question.

I will be replacing my steering column jacket on my 64.The column has tangs that fit into the retainer then you turn it. Does the motion of turn the jacket into the retainer lock it into position or do you bend the tangs some what to keep everything together.

Just completed one, do not bend. The tangs go into a slotted plate(for lack of a better description) that is held by screws through the turn signal switch into the “bell”.

So the tangs lock into the retainer. Thanks for the clarification.
