Dumb question but how do I install the grommet in this plate? I cant put it in the plate and slide it over that lip on the end of the column. I'm assuming I have to put it on the column and THEN try to install the plate, correct?

OR do I put the grommet in the plate and slide it down from the top after taking all the steering wheel end stuff off?

Its not obvious n the picture but the hole in the plate is oval because the column enters it on an angle PLUS the grommet hole in the plate has a lip further complicating the install.
