Is there some place that has an exploded diagram of how these go together?

I have a clamp on boss that I have some SIS shifters on- I could twistie tie those together- but the L422s... they have to be screwed on to something to hold them together apparently.
fascinating story! i've tried unsuccessfully to dismantle these shifters multiple times, it's like they just don't want to come apart. so i'm amazed to hear a set came apart on their own.

i don't have any resources to share, but if you post a pic of the parts maybe we can suggest how they go back together.
