You can try this in the privacy of your own home.
Grasp gizmo in your left hand. With your right hand, insert the doohickey into the little whoosie just below the bright red thingamajig and gently—gently!—turn it in a clockwise direction until you hear a click. Attach the long thingamabob to the whatchamacallit. Do not under any circumstances allow the metal whatsit on the end to come in contact with the black plastic thingummy.
