reinstallation of hood support spring, 230sl

Got my 230sl back from bare metal paint job. Looks great, but the shop did not know how to reinstall the hood spring...I think. It no longer supports the hood properly, not enough tension. I removed it, but it only wants to go back one way, and that is the easy way, with no pre loading. Am I doing something wrong?

thanks
