Do: Mirror of Steps 05.26–05.27: M5×40 up through the upper plate, then spacer, F695 flange down, F695 flange up, spacer. Close the joint body over it into its M5 nut. The left parts have no cable channel.
Check
Left and right joints sit as mirror images on the bench, not as two of the same hand.
What you're looking at
The left joint, built exactly as the right was. The tell is the wire channel: only the right-hand pair has one. If the parts in your hand have a channel, put them down; they are the right joint's.
