Pretty much correct. Just looked at my SLJ and the spring end is 180 degrees opposite the position in suncake's photo. Use an allen wrench to put tension on the spring and install the plate. Mine uses the minus hole. That puts the tab on the correct side of the derailleur and provides the needed tension.
