Default Intermediate Choke Rod Installation

Well I was adjusting my choke this afternoon and since the rod that connects to the choke spring would not close the choke flap when it's pulled all the way down, I decided it was the intermediate rod that I would need to bend/adjust. Long story short I decided to remove the rod to bend it and now I can't get the darn thing back in! I can either end of that rod connected just fine but not both. Any tricks here?

When bending these rods to adjust the choke, do you just bend the rods while they're in place? Thanks in advance!

I'll give that a shot, wasn't sure how much bending these bits can take, thank you!
