Replacing Grip on Armalite Ar10T was created by 1MOA

Hi,
I am installing a Hogue grip on my Armalite AR10T and as i was taking off the stock one i saw the usual spring that goes into the receiver and into the grip then i found another spring sitting on its side up against the receiver...

i would imagine that the other spring goes into the other hole but there is no spot hole for it in the old or new grip and the picture in the manual want clear enough to tell where it goes...

Anyone know?
any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

OK.
So i figured it out, one spring (the "normal" one) in the first pic is the spring for the rear take down pin. and the other spring is for the (the one that was laying down) is for the safety selector switch. They bot have a small set pin on the end of the spring and help the pin/selector switch to stay in place.
the spring wasn't supposed to be laying down it does go in that forward hole...
Just for anyone else who is replacing this... hope all this helps you if your having problems :)
Have a good one
