Help building no solder board
This is my first time building this board and I need help to like assemble it as on the tutorial on youtube they are soldering the header part, so Im trying to understand the build guide on the site on typeractive, and now, sorry for this question, do I need put the tall one pin up or down?

Hey there! 👋
For the no-solder headers, insert them into the PCB with the plastic part flush against the board. Then, install the battery before installing the nice!nano.
Check out the nice!nano guide and battery guide for more details.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
nice!nano | Typeractive.xyz Documentation
Installing your nice!nano is usually the first step in building your keyboard. In this guide, we'll go over the three different ways to install your nice!nano.
Batteries | Typeractive.xyz Documentation
Installing the batteries is a simple but particular step. This guide will go over the positioning and installation of them.
So the long pin is on the battery part and the small pin will be on nice nano part right?
I guess this is the wrong one, the no solder is the different kind of pin
Not an expert at all but.. the battery doesn’t interact with the pins 🤔
fyi those are not the no solders they come in a different bag
Maybe late here to the game, but assembled mine just a week ago with the no-solder headers.
You should use the headers in a different bag, from the side the pins look kind of like triangles (that's the springing mechanism). So don't use the headers that doesn't have this "spring setup".
Use only those with springs.
I had to fiddle a little with the battery cables when i was going to mount the plate for the switches, since if the cables was under the plate, it would bend and so the switch wouldn't fully get inserted.
Side note, i had to push down my microcontrollers after a while of use since i did alot of firmware updates, and was a little to hard handed with the usb-c cable.
Noticed this when some buttons didn't work.
You're just in a right time mate, I need help 😭
So I noticed I need the other one
I guess this is what I need
Should I put this, this way or other way? 🤔
it doesnt matter — i just installed those same ones literally today
