Z Bar Spring Clip

I was working on installing the Z-bar and I have a question I was hoping someone could assist me with. The spring clip that goes on the Z-Bar on the Frame Side is screwing me up. There are three possible scenarios for the spring clip installation which will affect the position of the Z-Bar. I’ve tried one and two but not three as I just thought of it!

1. If the spring clip get is installed first then this will limit how far towards left ,towards the driver’s side, that the Z-Bar will move. If install like this the Z-bar down leg will hit the starter and the entire Z-bar is crooked.
2. If the frame ball stud is inserted into the Z-bar then the clip is install it will limit over how far right towards the engine the z- bar will move and down leg will hit the header tube.
3. Is the frame ball stud inserted into the Z-Bar and the Spring clip ends rides in the groove of the bushing? On the factory Z-bar there is a drift pin that will limit how far in the ball stud will go. I would imagine that the spring clip rides in the grove of the bushing but I am not quite sure.

Any help will be appreciated.
