Could anyone with a successfully assembled aNet A8-M provide me with directions ?
Hi ! Forgive the bad english if there's any below.
I recently received an aNet a8M (the dual nozzle one) in kit parts and believe to have been following the proper building procedure up until the present point.
Since I wish to be really careful with that part, I figured I'd ask advice from the Internet instead of trying a wrongfully assembled printer and set my apartment on fire.
Now, there's also a likely possibility that I might have missed something in the procedure or video, so I made an imgur album to clarify the situation here. The building / mounting video provided for reference by the builder can also be found here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnmb7lionpU&t=8m59s
(can provide additional pictures if requested.)
So the problem is this : I'm currently trying to assemble the extruder head + nozzle part onto the axis platform, and the extruder heads seem different than the ones in the documentation I have been provided - there are no holes to make a screw inside the spring, and no way to properly fixate the nozzle into the assembled head. Am I stupid and haven't seen something in the doc that made me do this wrong or have I been supplied the wrong documentation or the wrong parts ?
I'd be very grateful for any insight on this.

Take some pictures of what you have at the moment, both extruder assembly and x-axis so we can try to figure it out.
A picture says a thousand words etc. :)
Sure ! I'll post some additions to the imgur album later today.
