Vacuum diaphragm for air cleaner

Vacuum diaphragm for air cleaner
Evening folks
On my 70 442 I had to replace my vacuum diaphragm as it would not actuate with a vacuum. The one that came with my car had a bend in the metal stick that presses on the valve in the air cleaner to allow hot air into the engine.
On the new one the metal stick is straight. I noticed on the valve in the air cleaner there is a hole that allows the metal stick to fit into it if I bend the stick.
My question what is the proper setup? I consulted my engine and assembly manuals and see no reference to how to setup.
Thanks in advance.

I had to replace the one in my '69 4-4-2 and the replacement piece came without the bend. I had to put the bend in it myself, which I did with a couple pair of vice grips. It turned out surprisingly well and the new assembly fit together nicely.
