Maybe this helps. It's the only pic I have. I am in the process of moving and will have the bike in my garage again soon, so I can provide more in a week or so.  Boy, my frame is chipped up, will need to fix that. I have a temporary hardware store bolt through the plates as I had the wrong stud and half-height nuts which meant the stand would not work at all. But that's sort of fixed now. Still has some interference.


In the end, I'll probably remove it. It's a terrible stand and mine has no 'tang' to press down on with my foot. I use a chain hoist to lift the bike up for maintenance and can live with just a side stand, I have lived with no center stand on several bikes before.


The spring is a bit tricky, I watched a Matchless video on YouTube which is probably worth checking out.  Same basic stand.  I didn't make the tool he did, it was too fiddly. I just put on some gloves and did the kung-fu grip, wasn't too hard to muscle it on.
