Because i just dont know how the wire on the right hand side is supposed to attach to the screw?
Took it off and cant remember how it went, been trying for an hour and want to get out and ride today.
Thanks

It doesn't attach to the screw. just bend it so it goes underneath the metal bracket.

I wouldn't thing anything attaches to the screw, you have three individual spade connectors by the look of it.
The earth just connects through the bulb mounting so you are only connecting to the 'live' side.
edit - ah, thought you were trying to connect electrics to it...

Hi, yea i put it back together, isnt exactly how it was but with such a ridiculous method of holding a light in place anyway, im not fussed. Just bent the wire so its something like the correct way lol.

Hinc wouldnt let me ride without full details, but ive paid upfront and starting next Monday. They owe me a fiver as i only had 130 in notes haha

Would you mind asking tef how soon i should check the spark plug colour since doing the valves?
Had to switch to reserve again yesterday, i worked out i averaged 66mpg, which isnt all that good, maybe im riding it too hard?
