Hamilton 987-E Hairspring

I Will state up front that I am really good at messing up hairsprings. The movement is a Hamilton 987-E. When I disassembled it I found the hairspring was not centered. After watching Mark‘s video on fixing this issue, I gave it a try. I ended up with what I think is a hairspring that is not repairable. I ordered a NOS Hamilton Military hairspring that was listed for 987A - 987S. My question is will this work? See the photographs below. This is the new hairspring, as it came out of the package. It is as if the triangle piece is attached in the wrong orientation. Or, am I supposed to bend the hairspring of one of these orientations so that it is in the correct position? I am also including a photograph of the movement in question.

Ok, it looks like Tapatalk has confiscated my images. I’ve always used Tapatalk to post here and this has never happened before. I can see the images on the links but it is probably because I have a Tapatalk account. I will try to figure out how to get the images to show up as before.
