Replacing printhead on HP OfficeJet Pro 6978. Followed online video, but video does not show  how the timing strip is connected at the left end.  When attempting to reinstall the timing strip I was able to hook the left end to a tiny tab near the left side of the the case, but unable to locate a similar tab to on which to  hook the right end of the strip. Any suggestions on how the right end is to be fastened?

On the left side there is a small tin hook that fell inside the printer when you removed the strip.

 

It looks like this:
