4. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver (2.5 mm) into the top opening on the
right-hand (positive) side of the connector. Push the blade in until the clamp in
the lower opening folds back.

remove the screwdriver from the top opening. The clamp will close on the wire.
Pull on the wire to confirm it is securely attached in the connector.

wire, not the insulation.
