Yes, that is correct orientation of the bracket. After you put the battery back in, it's kinda a feel thing to raise the front of the bracket, slide it in, let the front down, & it should not pull out when you put the strap on.

+1 There are slots cut in the frame above the battery box that those tabs tuck up into once the battery is in place. Then the rubber strap connects below the bottom of the battery box to the flat hook on the front of that bracket.
Moabman has a nice youtube video on Battery removal and replacement. The install starts about 2 min 50 seconds into the video.

practice just with hold down bracket first, to put in frame slots. Try a good light and a mirror to see the slots. If you had a helper, you might be able to install bracket, then have them hold it up, while you slip battery in area

Perfect, just what I needed! It is a lot easier to see on the F3, but at least I know where to look.

The thing that confused me the most was that the link led me to a video that's 4 minutes 18 seconds long. Just couldn't figure out how to get to the 5 minute 30 second point. Have I overlooked something?

I've now fixed the time stamp in the original post showing the link, and fixed the quotes; but clicking on the original link took me to exactly the right spot anyway, just where all the pertinent info started showing.

Perfect advice! It took a mirror and light just to see the slots. All they had to do was put a little more of a hook on the tab that fits in. The bracket should be able to just hang there - I ended up fitting it in and just duct taped it up so it wouldn't fall. Thanks again for the help.
