Set latch levers in the correct position BEFORE INSTALLING THE SCREWS!
Press IN on the back plate plunger, which will move the rounded rear lever to the right (in this photo)
This allows clearance for the front handle lever to fit in front of the back plate lever.
The levers must be positioned as shown, to prevent breaking off the back plate rounded lever.
Hold the latch assembly in this position while re-installing the 4 screws removed previously.
Tighten the 4 screws, then you can release the back plate plunger.
Now, re-check all 4 screws because at least one will loosen up as the other screws were tightened.
All 4 screws should be snug.
Check the operation of the baggage latch to make sure it operates correctly.
