This piece is actually part of the trigger mechanism - the top of the trigger itself sits inside this piece and that triangular nub pushes the switch block into the switch assembly to make electrical contact.
at 2:50 you can see here how it aligns with the trigger and switch channel - unfortunately it's not a very good video and wont help you with the trigger spring alignment:
The first time I took apart an MP5K I remember it taking me a good half hour to setup the trigger spring correctly, there are two or three ways that look like they could work but only one which is correct - I don't have mine to hand to look at - it's a bit fiddly getting it to stand still in the correct resting position, the hole on the underside of the GB is also in a slightly awkward positon as you have to push everything in underneath the switch assembly ever so slightly.

Might have to resort to that. Keeping trying for time being.
Keeping the damn thing in place while doing the rest of it and to then attempt to close the shell around the gearbox is what is killing me.
Currently got the trigger all in place but it sure as hell won’t stay there!
I think the problem is that the trigger doesn't lay flat because of the shape of it. When you try and get the spring in, the angle of the trigger throws everything out.
I've been planning on making a jig to hold the gearbox off the bench slightly with a recess for the trigger.
