W108 Window regulator installation help

I got a new LF window regulator but I can't find the way to install to the window metal channel.

Anybody has a picture of the window metal part where the regulator attaches?
Mine looks like a J, maybe it's bent? It's impossible to pass the pin tru it!




I looked on the RF and its straight, so the regulator, then the white plastic and then the clip can go straight.

Your 2nd pic is right. Looks like, in the first pic, the arm came out of its channel and rode along the bottom of the window, bending the piece at a 90° angle as it raised the window from below the channel it needs to be in.

Thank you very much!

The metal on the bracket appeared too strong to be bent, so I couldn't figure out why the design was like that.
