Default 03 durango brake install

So I'm upgrading my 01 dakota to a pair of 03 Durango dual piston calipers. I have the knuckle mounted, the bracket mounted, but now I'm at a loss. How does the little metal clips go to retain the pads and how do I get the caliper to sit in/on the clips? I have not been able to find any videos with this as everyone seems to have a single caliper install

You can see the spring clips here. Snapped this while trying to figure out uneven brake wear a few years back. Your setup looks somewhat different from mine, so I'm not sure this helps. I've got Dakota, 2WD, not Durango. The springs are supposed to let the pads 'float'.
