Default '76 Power Window Switch Installation

So I removed the interior to cover everything with dynamat & reflectix. I'm finally putting it all back together, but I failed to take pictures of and can't remember how the power window switches are supposed to be installed.

I've ordered the assembly manual, but it won't arrive for a few days and I'd like to get it put back together sooner

Do the switches attach to the metal bracket using just a screw, and the "sheet metal like" nut, and then the bracket attaches to the console with another "sheet metal like" nut?

I has been a while but I thought they 'pressed' in to the bracket and then that bracket would attach to the console with speed nuts.

Though nothing in regards to securing the switch but there should be some brass posts that are on the switch, those posts will pass through on the electrical connection and secured with a blue plastic speed nut.

Also check the operation before inserting to determine that down is down and not backwards. I have fell in that trap before
