The very best way to learn is with Mark's lessons:

Also, we have a dedicated section where is considered polite to introduce oneself even before asking questions.

I'm pretty sure that Mark also made videos about the 2824, that would answer your specific question but the lessons teaches how to do things correctly, and why.

ETA came up with an easier way to get the date-wheel in place in the 2824 compared to other older movements where you need to mess with springs and jumpers and hope pray the jumper spring doesn't fly off.

You install the jumper and its cover first, then align the teeth on the date-wheel with the slots in the edge of the cover and push the jumper aside. Once the date-wheel is in place the jumper will align the date wheel correctly. Finally install the minute wheel cover and screw it down. This completes the date-wheel installation.

A bit unusual if this is the first time you've worked on one. Trouble is we're so used to this movements we expect everyone to know this!
