They can slip behind the wheels. Use tweezers to straighten the tabs which support the contact strips if necessary - they should protrude horizontally from the main copper strip. I'm not sure what the two tags near the gearbox are for. When in position, screw down the circuit board - as always, insert the screw in the board and offer both up to the threaded hole. It saves trying to fiddle with big fingers and tiny screws in tight places.
