How do you put on gimbal clamp?

Hi.
Finally arrived after going all around the world for one reason and another.
Annoyingly the gimbal clamp fell off in transit, so I can't see how it goes on. Any videos or info on this?
Cheers

Ah. Thanks for that

Here's what it should look like when installed:



I find it easiest to slide start sliding the gimbal lock in with the flat back part of the lock against the back of the gimbal compartment. As you're sliding it in, line the camera up so the groove at the top fits into the notch at the top of the gimbal lock. It'll just click into place then.

Be aware of the ribbon cable on the back of the camera - any damage to this won't end well.
I pull the camera forward slightly which keeps the ribbon out of the way, then ease it back into the groove once the guard is in place.

I've found that holding the Mavic face down (similar to the second step of the compass calibration) the clamp slides right in.
