STEVENS MODEL 320 - 12 Gauge Ejector Install?

I recently purchased a used Stevens 320 -12 gauge pump shotgun. It was missing the Ejector. It came in original box with Owner's Manual. I called Savage and they promptly sent me a new Ejector Assembly at no cost. Problem is they have no schematic, nor exploded diagram showing how these parts position to each other in the receiver. The serial # puts mfg. date @ Sept. 2013. The ejector assembly they sent consists of a small machine screw, a long slotted, ribbed metal stamping (the ejector), a small metal tab with screw hole with small tabs I'd guess secures the ejector with small machine screw into threaded hole now in left inside wall of receiver. Also included is a coil spring looking like a ball point pen spring.
I called back today and asked if they could send me some print to show how this assembled. No they told me as the shotgun is not made here. (China)
Hoping someone out there can describe or picture how this will go back together. The Owner's Manual only shows basic field stripping and swapping out of barrels, etc.
Thx,

I didn't have any luck actually finding a proper schematic either.
added Well at least they answer the phone - too bad they have nothing overly useful to say. But hey free parts is worth something.
Post a pic of the parts would help. I think the spring would go in first, then the ejector - square edge of the lump facing forward toward the barrel - lump facing into the action center; then the tabbed washer over a section of the ejector - either at the spring end or the other end with the screw thru the washer and (perhaps the ejector too if it has a hole) into the side of the receiver. They could also fit into the bolt carrier.
Look for a slot that is as least as long as the ejector, a hole the spring diameter in size perhaps 1/2 has deep as the spring is long and a threaded hole that takes the screw. I assume the ejector is flat steel bent into a shape, not a round or square rod.
I called back to Savage/Stevens AND they cannot help with any drawings. They did verify that the spring is part of the assembly. There are 4 parts. The long blade like ejector, a clamp with ears, small coil spring & tiny machine screw that goes into rcvr.
Savage/Stevens said to take this to a Gunsmith, OR return it to them to replace/repair. It's all about Liability. She did confirm the coil spring is to put tension on the ejector.
Still hope someone out there has a 320 and can look inside & tell me what they see?
The Bolt, trigger group, Ejector, and barrels all interchange.
All but the stocks and forearms for some reason.
Big problem on the Winchester was the ejector
