Hood pop up spring

It does not look like there is a tab at all. Are you are saying that the spring sits on the support and the last coil sits inside that hole? I am not seeing how that works. The car in question is a 70 Dart. Here is a more detailed pic.

Yep, here it is.
Yours is missing the tab on both holes.
The one that leg on the spring goes through, and the one that bends over the bottom coil and holds it there.
The two raised area keep it from moving sideways and coming out from under the bent over tab.
