H-plate is good but ...

This section is clearly out of whack. There is the lever, the electromagnet
with a pair of guided in the flap. If I put the lever into the guides the
reader is "off" when I turn on now (!progress!) but if I type a key it
starts the reader running. So the linkage isn't assembled properly. I'm
looking for it in the manuals now.
