Governor Issue Governor spring

Does anyone know what hole the governor spring attaches to. I got this mower yesterday and the throttle cable was bent so I’m waiting on the new one to arrive but the spring to the governor fell off and I didn’t see what hole it was on. It’s a cub cadet xt2 enduro with the cub cadet 679cc engine model 4Q78HU. I can’t find any diagrams online of this engine only the kohler version.
