The "long end in hole" applies to the new MIM Smiths, if I'm following your description right. Hand springs on the older Smiths are anchored by putting the loop through a horizontal pin on the trigger, setting the long end above another horizontal pin inside the trigger, then creating tension lifting the short end against a short pin on the inside of the hand itself.
Numrich Arms has a good schematic showing the orientation - picture helps quite a bit.
